“As a result of the collision, the Yaris crossed the carriageway and collided head-on with the red VW travelling in the opposite direction.

The VW driver was taken to the major trauma unit at University Hospital Coventry but suffered only minor injuries while the A5 remained closed for around three hours for recovery work.
