Police are appealing for anyone who was on the A1 between the A607 junction and the junction with the A52 between 10.25pm and 10.35pm on Tuesday September 13, to contact the collision investigators.

Police would specifically like to speak to anyone who was recording with a dashboard camera while they travelled along that stretch of the A1. It may be they did not witness the collision but they may have recorded vehicles that will help with our investigation.
