Moped collision teenager dies

A 17-year-old Telford girl injured in a crash on her moped has died.Emma Louise Paton, from Woodside, died yesterday, four weeks after she was critically injured in the accident in Dawley.

Police today relaunched their appeal for any witnesses to get in touch.

Emma suffered multiple injuries when her blue Honda 50cc moped collided with two cars on Springhill Road, Dawley, on November 24.

The accident happened on a stretch of the road near to the Heath Hill roundabout at 2.30pm and also involved a silver Vauxhall Zafira and a red Citroen C3.

Constable Stuart Ind, of Telford Police, said: "Inquiries are still ongoing and today we have launched a new appeal for anybody who knows anything about this and who has not already contacted police to contact us.

"Three vehicles were involved - a silver Vauxhall Zafira, a red Citroen C3 and the blue Honda moped.

"The Vauxhall and the Honda were both travelling in the direction of Woodside, with the Citroen travelling in the opposite direction."

A week after the crash, police stopped more than 1,100 vehicles to try and find motorists who may have seen the crash.

The crash left the road closed for almost three hours, while firefighters worked to rescue Emma, who was trapped under one of the cars.
