Police are appealing for witnesses, information and dash cam footage after a car drove into a house and a man died in Royston.

At around 12.57am today (Friday 18 July), officers received a report that a gold BMW 4 Series had come off the A505 and collided with a house in Cromwell Way.

The occupants in the house were not harmed, however three males in the car were seriously injured.

One of these people, a 19-year-old man, sadly died at the scene. His next of kin are aware and are being supported by officers.

The vehicle has been recovered and a structural engineer is assessing the damage to the house.
