Deadly Smash Near Ely
Cambridgeshire Police are investigating a fatal crash that took place on the A10, between Littleport and Ely, at around 6.40pm on 12 February. The collision involved a huge HGV fuel tanker and an Audi on the single carriageway road near Chettisham.
The HGV veered off, ending up in a nearby field. The Audi was shoved nearly 100 metres further up the road.
Two Women Dead at Scene
The 25-year-old driver of the Audi and her 71-year-old front seat passenger, both from Littleport, died instantly at the scene. The HGV driver, a 40-year-old Basildon man, escaped injury but was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
He has since been released on bail until 10 May while the probe continues.
