Police are appealing for witnesses after a man died in a serious crash near Whittlesey.

The 21-year-old, from March, was a back seat passenger in a silver BMW X5 which left the A605 Wisbech Road, outside Coates, and crashed into a ditch at around 8.45am on Saturday 13 December.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver, a 53-year-old man, and a 50-year-old woman, both from March, were taken to Peterborough City Hospital with serious injuries. No other vehicles were involved.

Sergeant Mark Atkins, from the Road Policing Unit, urged anyone who saw the BMW before the collision, or who has dashcam footage, to come forward.
