A later report but not as up to date as previous

TWO men were killed after their car smashed in to a tree on Friday.

The 34-year-old and 21-year-old, whose identities have not yet been revealed, crashed between Shawbury and High Ercall on the B5063.

The emergency services received numerous calls from other drivers, and headed to the scene at about 5.30pm.
