Man killed in crash on rural road

Two accidents on the same stretch of road in Gloucestershire have left one man dead and another critically ill.

The man who died was driving a taxi along the A48 at Minsterworth in the early hours of Sunday when his car hit a roadside building.

Also at about 1900 BST on Saturday a Ford Fiesta hit a telegraph pole at the side of the road.

The driver, a 20-year-old man, was taken to Frenchay Hospital near Bristol with serious injuries.

A 45-year-old woman was taken to the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in Cheltenham and treated for minor injuries.
