Woman dies in early morning multi-vehicle crash

A woman has died and two other people have been seriously injured after an early morning multi-vehicle crash.

The collision took place on the A605 between Warmington in Northamptonshire and Elton in Cambridgeshire at about 01:30 GMT.

Northamptonshire Police said a BMW 2 and BMW X6 were being driven in opposite directions when they crashed. The drivers of two HGVs stopped to help and a Kia Ceed then collided with the stationary BMW 2.

The driver of the BMW X6, a woman in her 40s, died of her injuries. The driver of the BMW 2, a man in his 20s, had serious injuries and has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Both lorry drivers were also injured, one seriously, during the collision with the Kia Ceed and BMW 2, while a passenger in the Kia received minor injuries, police said.

The A605 reopened later.

Officers want to hear from any witnesses or anyone who may have dashcam footage of the incident.
