A man involved in a crash on the A507 near Maulden has died.

Thomas De Lacy, 83, of Trinity Road in Luton, died last weekend (13 November) following the collision.

Just before 10.30pm on 6 November, a silver Transit van was travelling on the A507 towards Ampthill when it was involved in a collision with a blue Vauxhall Corsa travelling in the opposite direction.

A man in his 50s from Flitwick was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving as well as drink driving.

He was released under investigation while police enquiries continue.

Sergeant David Burstow, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Roads Policing Unit, said:

"Our thoughts are with Mr De Lacy’s family at such a difficult time.

"We are progressing with our investigation but would encourage anyone who was in the area at the time or has dashcam footage to get in touch with us.

"We believe the van had come from the Clophill area and we are keen to find new information."

Anybody who has any information or dashcam footage is asked to report it online or call 101 quoting Operation Solid.
