Paramedics, police, and firefighters were called to the scene, but nothing could be done to save the woman. The road was closed for several hours while emergency services worked at the scene and police investigators tried to piece together what happened.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “When crews arrived, they found a car which was badly damaged from the road traffic collision, with the driver, a woman, inside.
“Sadly, nothing could be done to save her, and she was confirmed deceased on scene.”
Two ambulances and a paramedic officer were sent and two fire engines were sent from Wellington along with an operations officer.
