Appeal following A6 collision

Police investigating a fatal road traffic collision on the A6 on Saturday (16 May) are appealing for witnesses.

Just before 6.30pm, officers were called to a report of a multi vehicle collision involving a blue Bugatti and an ambulance on blue lights, on the northbound carriageway of the A6, near the Barton Road junction.

Sadly, a man in his 50s was pronounced dead at the scene. While we await formal identification, his next of kin has been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.

Sergeant Tim Davies, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim at this time.

“I would urge anyone to contact us as soon as possible if you witnessed the collision or were driving along the A6 at that time and saw the incident, especially if you have a dash cam fitted to your vehicle.”

You can report any information to Bedfordshire Police, including video footage, via our online reporting tool, quoting Operation Fortress.
