The pair killed in a fatal collision on the A47 in mid-November have been named as Ian and Gail Gale from Leicester.

Police were called to the scene, in Belton in Rutland, shortly after 6.15pm on Friday the 18th of November 2022 following a report of a collision involving a red Hyundai i10 and brown Citroen C4.

The occupants of the Hyundai – 64-year-old Ian Gale and 58-year-old Gail Gale from Leicester – were pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Citroen – a man in his 30s – suffered injuries that were not life-threatening or life-changing. He has since been released from hospital.

Detective Constable Anna Thorpe, the investigating officer, said: "I'd ask anyone who was on the A47 [around the time of the collision] and has information about this incident, but who has not yet come forward, to do so.

"Any details or footage you're able to provide could help. It's not too late to share anything with us."
