Two men have died after a crash on the A43 in Northamptonshire.

It happened between Northampton and Kettering at about 3.40pm on Monday, October 7th.

The drivers of a white Citroen Belingo van and a white Scania goods vehicle travelling in the opposite direction collided.

As a result of the collision, the driver of the Citroen, a man in his 40s, and his passenger – a man in his 30s, sadly died at the scene.

A second passenger, a man in his 20s, sustained serious injuries.

A second collision then occurred between the drivers of the Scania and a blue Mercedes AMG car. Fortunately, both drivers were not injured.

The A43, between the Holcot/Sywell roundabout and the Walgrave/Hannington junction, has now re-opened.

Officers from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit believe the A43 would have been busy at this time of day and would like to hear from anyone who may have dash-cam footage that captured any part of the collision.

It was the second incident in a day on the road.

Earlier that morning the A43 was closed in Kettering after a pedestrian was left with serious injuries in an incident.
