Police are appealing for witnesses following a fatal collision between a car and a lorry on the A12 northbound near Boreham in the early hours of Friday, 8 August.
Emergency services were called to the scene, between junctions 19 and 20, shortly after 2:45am. Despite the efforts of paramedics, the driver of the car – a man in his 20s – was pronounced dead at the scene. His family is now being supported by specialist officers.
The A12 was closed for several hours while emergency crews worked at the scene and collision investigators examined the area.
Essex Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit is leading the enquiry and is particularly keen to speak to anyone who saw a black Kia Picanto being driven on the northbound carriageway immediately before the crash. Officers are also asking drivers with dashcam footage to come forward.
A spokesperson said:
“This was a tragic incident and we are working to establish the full circumstances. If you saw the Kia Picanto or have relevant footage, please get in touch as soon as possible.”
Information can be submitted via the Essex Police website, through the Live Chat service, or by calling 101 quoting incident 96 of 8 August.
