The crash happened at around 11:15pm yesterday evening, but the road remains closed.
The A421 southbound from the A603 Cardington Road (Cardington Cross) to the A6 (Elstow) near Bedford remains closed following a serious crash late last night.
Bedfordshire Police And East of England Ambulance Service was called at around 11:15pm yesterday evening to reports of a "serious collision" on the A421.
With the assistance of National Highways, the road was initially closed in both directions, with the northbound carriageway later re-opening at around 5:45am this morning (14/01).
