Probe continues into fatal M5 crash

Police investigations were continuing today following a collision on the M5 involving a Shropshire lorry and a car, in which two people died.

The motorway was shut for seven hours in both directions between junction three at Halesowen and junction four for Bromsgrove after the smash, which involved a lorry from the Oswestry-based Pentons firm, yesterday morning.

It partially reopened at 7pm yesterday and after a barrier was repaired it opened fully at 10pm.
