The road was closed in both directions by police after the crash, and remains closed as of 5.50pm while a crash scene investigation is carried out.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival crews discovered the driver of the car, a woman, in a critical condition.

“She was already receiving basic life support from bystanders before ambulance staff began administering advanced life support.

“However, despite everyone’s best efforts it sadly became apparent nothing could be done to save the woman and she was confirmed dead at the scene.

“Two men from the lorry were assessed and discharged at the scene.”
