A 96-year-old motorist has sadly died following a collision at Bottesford earlier this month.
He was driving a white Honda Jazz which was involved in a collision with a white Mercedes SLK on the A52 on April 1, say Leicestershire Police.
A force spokesperson said: “Officers were called just after 10.20am that morning and the Honda driver was taken to hospital, but he has passed away as a result of his injuries.
“The driver of the Mercedes suffered minor injuries in the incident, while a passenger in the car was not injured.
“Detectives from the force’s Serious Collision Unit are now carrying out further enquiries on behalf of HM Coroner and a file will be prepared.”
