Two teenagers from a school in the Cotswolds have died following a fatal crash near Shipston-on-Stour in Warwickshire on Friday (April 21). Emergency services, including four air ambulances, were called at around 4.10pm to a two-vehicle collision on the B4035 Campden Road, near to the Portobello Crossroads.
The collision involved a Ford Fiesta and a Fiat 500. A 17-year-old boy and a 16 year-old girl from the Fiesta, who were both airlifted to hospital, have since died. Their next of kin have been informed.
The teenagers were students at Chipping Campden School in Gloucestershire and it is understood they were returning home from school when the incident occurred. A letter sent by principal John Sanderson to parents reveals the "devastating news" and the "profound and far-reaching feelings of loss and grief" within the community.
