A teenager has been killed after a grey Range Rover collided with a group of motorbikes on a busy main road between Powys and Shrewsbury.

The fatal crash happened just after midnight on Sunday (October 1) along the A458 from Rowton junction to the Cardeston Park junction.

One motorcyclist sustained serious injuries and sadly another, a 17-year-old, was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin has been informed.
