Appeal for witnesses after fatal collision in Little Barford

Police investigating a fatal road traffic collision in Little Barford yesterday morning (Thursday) are appealing for witnesses.

Just after 7.20am, police were called to reports of a single-vehicle collision involving a blue Nissan Almera on Barford Road, between Tempsford and St Neots.

Emergency services attended the collision, but the driver – a woman in her 60s – sadly died shortly after. Her next of kin has been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

“We are asking for anyone who witnessed the collision or has any dashcam footage to please get in touch with us as this would greatly help our enquiries into establishing the circumstances around this incident.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police or call 101 quoting Operation Hurst or reference 59 of 7 December.
