Police investigation continues into fatal Wolverhampton Lidl crash

The store at the centre of a fatal collision has remained closed as a police investigation into the cause continues.

The Lidl superstore on Finchfield Hill in Wolverhampton has been closed to the public since the incident, which saw a car crash through the front doors on Friday evening after the driver, a woman in her 70s, was believed to have suffered a ‘medical incident’.

The crash left a man in his 30s declared dead at the scene, while another woman was taken to hospital alongside the driver with serious injuries, and there were several other injuries reported.

In the days following the collision, the car was recovered from the store and taken away, while a temporary security fence was erected at the front and tributes left on a wall adjoining the supermarket.

West Midlands Police have been working at the scene since the incident and a new statement said: “The investigation into the cause of the collision continues”.

Lidl have confirmed the store will stay closed for the foreseeable future, with a spokeswoman saying: “We are deeply saddened by the incident at our Finchfield Hill store and our hearts go out to the man's family and loved ones, and all involved in this tragic event.

“We are doing everything we can to support our store team and assist West Midlands Police with their ongoing investigation.

“The store will remain closed until further notice.”
