AN inquest at Worcestershire Coroner's Court has found that a Charford man who was killed in a collision on the M5 last year, died as a result of a bleed to his brain.

83-year-old Maurice Howard Tropman of Gilbert Road, who had worked as a builder and carpenter, was involved in a collision on the motorway on February 17 last year when a West Midlands Ambulance Patient Transport Service minibus was involved in a collision with two cars.

He and a woman in her 90s were both taken to Worcester Royal Hospital following the crash, but both later died, Mr Tropman on the following day.

The coroner recorded his official cause of death as a traumatic cerebral haemorrhage.

The case was not resumed, following the beginning of crown court proceedings into Mr Tropman’s death.
