Police are appealing for information and witnesses after a fatal crash on the A1307 near Hemingford Abbots.

A red Ford Focus travelling towards Huntingdon on the A1307 was involved in a collision with a black Volkswagen Beetle at about 4.10pm on Friday (14 July).

The driver of the Focus, a 62-year-old man from St Ives, was pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver of the Beetle, a 19-year-old woman from Swavesey, suffered minor injuries. 

A silver BMW, driven by a 48-year-old man from Swavesey, had left the road and was on the grass verge prior to the collision. He suffered minor injuries. 

Sergeant Chris Payne, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: “A man has sadly lost his life in this collision and my thoughts are with his family.

“I would like to hear from anyone who may have seen the collision or has dashcam footage of the BMW, Focus or Beetle in the build-up to the collision as this could greatly assist my officers in their investigation.”

Anyone with information or dashcam footage should tell us about it through the force website using CC-14072023-0343.
