A man in his 20's has passed away following a three-car crash on the A606 between Oakham and Melton on Monday the 21st of November 2022.

Police were called to the scene – close to the junction of Whissendine Road, near Leesthorpe – shortly after 10am.

The collision involved a black BMW 5 Series, a white Audi A5 and a red Renault Clio. The driver of the BMW was pronounced dead at the scene. The drivers of the two other cars, both women, suffered injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.

No arrests have been made and the police have appealed for witnesses.

Detective Sergeant Jon Putnam, from the force's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "Our investigation is in its early stages and I would ask anyone who witnessed the collision but who has not spoken to police to do so.

"I'd like anyone who was on the A606 this morning – particularly those with a dashcam in their vehicle – to come forward. Did you see the collision occur? Did you see any of the vehicles involved beforehand?

"Any details you're able to provide could help."
