Man dies following five-vehicle crash

A 64-year-old man driving a BMW has died at the scene of a five-vehicle crash.

Emergency services were called to the A605 between Elton, Cambridgeshire, and Peterborough at 12:45 BST on Monday.

The driver of the Mercedes, a woman in her 60s, was airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge with serious injuries.

The white BMW 320 collided with a Scania lorry heading in the opposite direction - the lorry then crashed into a red Ford Focus, a red Mercedes Vito and a black Skoda Octavia.

Sgt Jamie Cooper, from Cambridgeshire Police's Road Policing Unit, said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who tragically lost his life in this collision.

"His family are being supported by our family liaison officers.

"I would like to hear from anyone who saw the collision or has dashcam footage of the vehicles in the run up to it."

The crash led to the road being closed for several hours, affecting traffic from Peterborough into neighbouring Northamptonshire.
