The front seat passenger of the Toyota, a 76-year-old woman, sadly died at the scene whilst the 72-year-old female driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries.  The driver of the BMW, a male aged 37, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to provide a roadside breath test. He suffered minor injuries, and remains in custody.
