Witnesses needed after two people die in A16 crash between Crowland and Peterborough

Police are appealing for witnesses and information after two people died in a crash on the A16.

A blue Volvo V40 heading north was in collision with a brown Toyota Prius going in the opposite direction, near to the ‘blue bridge’ just over the Lincolnshire border towards Peterborough at about 3.30pm on Monday (April 22).

The brown Prius then collided with a red Ford Kuga travelling north.

The route is busy with commuters from south Lincolnshire - and our motorists may have been witnesses who can help Cambridgeshire Police with their inquiries.

A passenger in the Volvo, a woman in her 70s, from Amersham in Buckinghamshire, and the driver of the Prius, a man in his 50s from Peterborough, were both pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Volvo, a man in his 70s, also from Amersham, was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, with serious injuries, where he remains.

The Kuga driver, a man in his 60s, from Liverpool, suffered minor injuries.

Detective Inspector Garry Webb said: “I would like to hear from any witnesses or anyone who has dashcam footage of the collision which could help us piece together what happened in the moments leading up to the crash.”

Anyone with information or footage should report it through the force website using reference CC-22042024-0283.
