A MAN has died after crashing into a tree on the M45 near Dunchurch.
West Midlands Ambulance Service were called to the incident between the A45 and junction one of the M45 at around 1.30pm on Tuesday (November 15).
Paramedics and a team from Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance attended the scene to treat the injured driver.
Reports say the car, a grey Mercedes coupe, left the carriageway and collided with the tree.
A WMAS spokesman said: “On arrival at the scene, crews discovered a car that had suffered serious damage in collision with a tree.
“The driver, a man, was found to be in cardiac arrest and police had already commenced CPR.
“Ambulance staff took over and administered advanced life support but unfortunately it quickly became apparent that nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed dead at the scene.”
Officers are searching for witnesses to the accident or anyone who saw the car, and the manner in which it was being driven, before the crash.
They would particularly like to speak to the driver of a white or silver BMW which drove along the stretch of road towards the M1 shortly before the incident.
Anyone with information call Warwickshire Police on 101 quoting incident 187 of November 15.
