An 18-year-old man has been killed in a road crash which left two 17-year-old passengers fighting for their lives in hospital, as police launch an appeal for witnesses. The fatal collision, which happened at around 23:15 on Friday night on Offoxey Road in Tong, near Shifnal, Shropshire, involved a silver Audi A1. West Mercia Police say the car was travelling together with red Vauxhall Corsa and a black VW Golf, but have stated the other vehicles were not involved in the collision. An 18-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene, while two passengers, both aged 17, were taken to hospital after sustaining life-threatening injuries. The pair remain in a critical condition. A third passenger, also aged 17, sustained life-changing injuries, but is now in a stable condition. Officers say the families of those involved in the collision have asked that their privacy is respected at this time. Inspector Steph Arrowsmith of the force's serious collision investigation unit, said: 'This is an incredibly sad incident and first and foremost our thoughts remain with the family of the man who died, and those who are seriously injured. 'We're asking for the public to help us understand what happened last night. 'We'd like to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and may have witnessed the collision or have dashcam footage of it. 'We would also like to hear from anyone who may have seen or have dashcam footage of the vehicle travelling on Wood Road or Boscobel Lane from Codsall towards Bishops Wood at around 11pm last night. 'The Audi A1 was travelling together with red Vauxhall Corsa and a black VW Golf. Although they were not involved in any way in the collision we're hoping that this may help to jog people's memories.' Anyone with information or dashcam footage should contact DC Rich Owen on 07814773916 or SCIUNorth@westmercia.police.uk quoting incident number 554 of 14 March.
