Two people killed in crash on A16 near Peterborough

Police are appealing for witnesses and information after two people died in a crash on the A16 near Peterborough.

A blue Volvo V40 heading north was crashed with a brown Toyota Prius going in the opposite direction, near to the “blue bridge”, towards Newborough, at about 3.30pm yesterday (Monday, 22 April).

The brown Prius then collided with a red Ford Kuga travelling north.

A passenger in the Volvo, a woman in her 70s, from Amersham, Buckinghamshire, and the driver of the Prius, a man in his 50s from Peterborough, were both pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Volvo, a man in his 70s, also from Amersham, was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, with serious injuries, where he remains.

The Kuga driver, a man in his 60s, from Liverpool, suffered minor injuries.

Detective Inspector Garry Webb said: “I would like to hear from any witnesses or anyone who has dashcam footage of the collision which could help us piece together what happened in the moments leading up to the crash.”

Anyone with information or footage is being asked to report it through the force website using reference.
