Man dies in cemetery crash
A man has died after a car accident at a Gloucester cemetery.

The 70-year-old was one of three drivers involved in a low-speed collision at Coney Hill Road Cemetery.

The man was part of a funeral procession and is believed to have collapsed at the wheel shortly before the accident.

He was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, where he died.

The accident happened at 1430 BST on Wednesday between the gates of the cemetery and the main building.

The pensioner's car is thought to have rolled into two other vehicles, one of which knocked into a woman standing nearby.

She was not seriously injured.
