Two people have died after a crash in Rutland.

A silver Fiat Qubo and a black Volkswagen Golf collided on the A47 Peterborough Road in Barrowden just before 4pm yesterday afternoon (9 May).

A man and a woman in the Fiat were pronounced dead at the scene - no one in the other vehicle was seriously hurt.

A 54-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink or drugs.

Detective Constable Kasie Carter, from the SCIU, said: “Our investigation is very much ongoing and we are carrying out a number of enquiries into the incident.

“I would ask that anyone who was travelling along the A47 this afternoon and saw what happened, but has not yet come forward, to do so.

“I am particularly keen to speak to any motorists with a dashcam or who saw either vehicle prior to the collision occurring. Any footage or information you have could be vital.”

If you can help police with their enquiries, you're asked to contact them, quoting reference 394 of 9 May.
