Bedfordshire Police is appealing for witnesses following a fatal single-vehicle collision on the A421 on Friday evening (3 October).

Police were called just after 5pm to reports of a collision involving a grey Mercedes on the eastbound carriageway of the A421 just before the Shortstown/A600 junction. 

Emergency services attended and the driver - a man in his 60s - was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sergeant David McIlwhan from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit said: “First and foremost, our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died at this tragic time.

“We are aware that a number of people may have witnessed the incident or have dash cam footage, and we are asking them to get in touch as soon as possible as this may assist us with our investigation.”

Anyone with information should contact Bedfordshire Police on 101 or online via the force website quoting Operation Alpha.
