The police said in a statement this afternoon: "A second teenager has sadly died following a collision near Shifnal on Friday night (March 14). A 17-year-old male has since died in hospital following the collision, which involved a silver Audi A1 on Offoxey Road in Tong, shortly before 11.15pm. One of the occupants of the vehicle, an 18-year-old man, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. "The other 17-year-old male who sustained life-threatening injuries remains in hospital in a critical condition. A third occupant, a 17-year-old male, sustained life-changing injuries but is in a stable condition. "Officers investigating the collision are continuing to appeal for anyone who may have information about the incident to get in touch." The police force added the families of those involved in the collision have asked that their privacy is respected at this difficult time." Inspector Steph Arrowsmith of the force's serious collision investigation unit, said on Saturday: "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."
