APPEAL FOLLOWING FATAL COLLISION

We are appealing for witnesses after a man sadly died following a collision in Tamworth.

The collision took place near the roundabout at Bolebridge Street, Amington Road in Tamworth at around 1.10pm on Friday 28 November.

Two vehicles, a silver Ford Fiesta and an orange Nissan Note were involved.

Sadly, the driver of the Fiesta, Leonard Hobrow, aged 88, from Tamworth, died in hospital on 20 December.

His next of kin are aware and are being supported by specialist officers at this difficult time.

Paying tribute to Leonard, his family said: “Leonard was a father, granddad and great granddad and also served in the RAF and is sadly missed.”

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who saw the vehicles prior to the collision, witnessed the collision or who may have relevant CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage of the area at the time.

Anyone with information should call us on 101, or use Livechat on our website, quoting incident number 302 of 28 November 2025.
