A toddler has died two days after a car crash which also killed a woman in her 40s.

The 19-month-old had been taken to hospital on Saturday following a collision in Newport, Shropshire.

The other victim, who was the driver of the Mini, was pronounced dead at the scene on the A518 New Trench Road following the collision at 6.20pm.

Two adults, who were travelling in the Fiat, were also taken to hospital with serious injuries.
