Tribute paid to Uppingham couple killed in crash on A47 Peterborough Road in Barrowden

A tribute has been paid to a couple in their 80s who were killed in a fatal crash.

Clive and Elaine Jones from Uppingham were killed in a crash on the A47 Peterborough Road in Barrowden on May 9, just east of the crossroad with Barrowden Lane and Luffenham Road.

Emergency services were called just before 4pm, following a report of a crash involving a silver Fiat Qubo and a black Volkswagen Golf.

Clive, 89, and Elaine, 82, who were in the Fiat, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Their family said: “They were extraordinary people who led extraordinary lives.

"We loved them so very much. They died together and we wish them peace.”

The driver of the Golf, a 54-year-old woman, was taken to hospital following the crash.

She was arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink or drugs at the time of the crash but was released from custody pending further enquiries.
