A man has died following a single vehicle collision on the A1.
Emergency services were called to the Townsend Road junction for Wittering village on the northbound carriageway, at about 3.20pm on Sunday (28 May), and found an articulated HGV had left the road and collided with the perimeter fence of RAF Wittering.
The driver of the HGV, a man in his 40s from the Kettering area, was pronounced dead at the scene.
No other vehicles or people were involved.
Sergeant Mark Atkins, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: “The HGV lorry driver has sadly lost his life and my thoughts are with him and his loved ones. I would like to hear from anyone who may have seen the lorry before it left the road or has dashcam footage.”
