Two teens dead, two others injured after an Audi A1 crash in Shropshire—police appeal for witnesses.

A devastating crash on a rural road in Shropshire has left two teenagers dead and two others seriously injured, with police urgently appealing for witnesses.

The fatal collision happened on Offoxey Road in Tong, near Shifnal, on Friday night (March 14) around 11:15 PM. The silver Audi A1, carrying four teenage boys, veered off course and crashed, leaving a horrific scene of destruction.

An 18-year-old male passenger died at the scene, his life cut short in an instant. Another 17-year-old, who was rushed to hospital in critical condition, succumbed to his injuries shortly after. Two other 17-year-old boys suffered severe trauma—one is now fighting for his life, while the other remains in a stable condition despite life-changing injuries.

Police Appeal for Witnesses

West Mercia Police are now scrambling to piece together what happened in the moments leading up to the tragedy. They have revealed that the Audi was travelling with a red Vauxhall Corsa and a black VW Golf shortly before the crash, though these vehicles were not involved in the accident.

Inspector Steph Arrowsmith, from the force’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, has urged the public to come forward with any information that might shed light on the catastrophic crash.

“We’d like to hear from anyone who may have seen or have dashcam footage of the Audi A1 travelling on Wood Road or Boscobel Lane from Codsall towards Bishops Wood around 11 PM. Even the smallest detail could be crucial to our investigation.”

Authorities are working tirelessly to establish the events that led to the deadly crash. For now, the victims’ families are left grappling with an unimaginable loss.
