One of the six people killed in a head-on crash in Gloucestershire is believed to be from around Chipping Norton.

The three-car accident happened at about 9.20pm yesterday on the A429 between Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire.

A 20-year-old man, thought to be from the Chipping Norton area, was one of the passengers of a grey Peugeot 306 that was in the collision with a green VW Passat.

All four occupants of the 306 were pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Passat was declared dead at the scene while the car's front-seat passenger died later in hospital.

The three rear passengers of the car, thought to include a nine-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy, are said to be in a critical condition in hospital.

A red Kia was also involved in the accident but no-one else was injured, Gloucestershire police said.
