Police in Staffordshire are appealing for witnesses after a man was killed in a road accident involving five cars.
Keith Botten aged 63, of The Saplings, Penkridge, was pronounced dead at the scene after his green Mazda convertible MX5 was in collision with a silver Peugeot 206 on the A449 at Dunston near Penkridge yesterday morning.
Another three cars travelling towards Penkridge were involved in the crash - a red Ford Fiesta, a green Volvo 760 estate, and a red convertible Mini Cooper.
The drivers of the other four vehicles were taken to Stafford Hospital for treatment for minor injuries.
Two people from Stafford were arrested following the accident. A 55-year old man was last night being held in custody in Cannock and a 34-year-old woman was taken to Stafford. The A449 from junction 13 to Penkridge was closed from 8.05am until
12.45pm as police carried out investigations at the scene.
