POLICE today appealed for witnesses to a fatal crash in Shipley.

A black Skoda Octavia was travelling along Prospect Street when it suddenly left the road and collided with a wall at about 3.25pm on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old male driver of the vehicle was taken to hospital, but died a short time later.

Sergeant Carl Quinn, of the Major Collision Enquiry Team, said: "Minimal damage was caused to both the wall and the vehicle, which suggests that the driver was within the speed limit when the collision occurred."
