A MAN in his 40s has died following a crash near Droitwich last month.

At 6.45am on Friday, June 15, a Citroen C3 and an articulated lorry were in collision on the A38 at the Copcut Elm traffic island.

It led to a closure of the A38 for several hours and bad rush hour congestion.

The driver of the Citroen, was taken to the QE hospital in Birmingham with multiple injuries and following treatment was considered to be in a stable condition in the days after the crash.

He remained in hospital but in recent days became unwell and he died at about midnight on Sunday.

A post mortem is due to be held later this week. The cause of death is still unknown.
