AN elderly Moreton woman has died following a car accident in Stow earlier this week.

The woman, believed to be in her 70s, was driving a green Volkswagen Golf when it was involved in a collision with a white Citroen on the A436 shortly before 2.30pm on Tuesday.

She was treated by paramedics at the scene but was pronounced dead by a doctor.

Police erected road blocks near the junction of Park Road, Digbeth Street and Well Lane and accident investigators were called to the scene.
