Emergency services closed the A34 last night following an incident in which a man sadly lost his life.
Shortly after 8pm last night, Monday 7th November, A Little Bit of Stone received numerous reports about a full road closure on the A34 near to the ALDI.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing a male fall from the footbridge over the A34 carriageway.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson issued the following statement to A Little Bit of Stone:
“We were called at 7.57pm to reports of an incident at Shoemaker Place, The Fillybrooks in Walton, Stone.
One ambulance and a paramedic officer attended the scene.
Upon arrival we found a man.
Unfortunately, it immediately became apparent that nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed deceased at the scene.”
The closure meant that for a period of time, residents who lived off the A34 were unable to return home or leave whilst the emergency services dealt with the incident.
Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the man involved.
