MADELEY POLICE APPEAL

Ishfaq Hussain died on August 7 when his taxi, a red Skoda Octavia, hit a tree on Ironbridge Road in Madeley.

The Go Carz driver, who was in his 50s, was given CPR at the scene of the crash on Ironbridge Road at 10.30pm, but could not be saved.

More than a week into their investigations, police have today confirmed that nobody has been charged in relation to Mr Hussain's death.

Detectives are currently investigating reports an occupant of the Skoda was involved in two arguments with people in a silver Peugeot 307 just shortly before the crash.

The first altercation is said to have happened close to the Tesco store on Park Avenue in Madeley and the second shortly afterwards, near to the pedestrian crossing close to the entrance of the nearby Woodlands School.

Two women, aged 37 and 18, and two men, aged 31 and 18, were arrested on suspicion of murder on Tuesday but were released under investigation on Thursday.

Anyone who has any information should call police on 101, quoting reference 874s of August 7.

A New York City taxi driver who appeared to be resting was actually dead in his parked vehicle for about 18 hours.

The New York Times says 59-year-old Mehari Bokrezion died of cardiovascular disease around lunchtime on Aug. 8. He had pulled over in an area of Manhattan where drivers are allowed to rest for an hour. He wasn't found until the next morning.

When the driver failed to go home, his worried wife and brother traced his GPS device with help from his garage. At around the same time a passer-by noticed the driver hadn't moved and called 911.
The SoHo neighborhood where the driver was found bustles with foot traffic, but only one person sought help.
