Crash may have been caused by driver's collapse.

The Birmingham Post (England) | December 30, 1998 | Copyright

Police believe a Midland man may have collapsed at the wheel of his car before it crashed on the A448 Bromsgrove to Redditch dual carriageway.

Mr Douglas Hall, aged 76, of Hewell Lane, Tardebigge, was certified dead after the crash on the Redditch-bound carriageway of the A448 Bromsgrove Highway.

Meanwhile, motorist who was badly injured in a two-vehicle crash in Staffordshire may have swerved to avoid a fox, police said yesterday.

Jason Anthony, of Croft Lea, Handsacre, near Lichfield, was "critical" in North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary.
