Driver dies after crash between car and tractor
GoogleA driver has died following a crash between a tractor and car in a village in Leicestershire.
Leicestershire Police said officers were called to reports of a collision between a black Renault Laguna and a red Massey Ferguson tractor pulling a trailer in Ratcliffe Road, Thrussington, at about 22:50 BST on 26 June.
The car driver and a passenger were taken to hospital with serious injuries while two further passengers in the car sustained minor injuries.
The force said it had since been notified that the car driver died two days after the crash while the passenger had been discharged from hospital.
It is believed the Renault was travelling in the direction of Thrussington and the tractor was travelling in the opposite direction when the crash happened, officers said.
Anyone who witnessed the crash or has dashcam footage of the vehicles involved has been asked to contact the force.
