Two people die after serious collision in Chelmsford
It happened in the early hours of yesterday
Two people have died, after a collision in Chelmsford early yesterday (Sunday 23 March).
Police were called, shortly after 3am, to reports of a two-vehicle collision on the B1007 Stock Road, by junction 16 of the A12.
Emergency services attended, but two people, a man in his 50s (who was a passenger in one car) and a man in his 30s (who was the driver of the other car) died at the scene.
Their families have been informed and are being supported by our specialist officers.
Two other men have been taken to hospital with serious injuries. They are not believed to be life-threatening, nor life-changing.
The road was closed all day while officers carried out vital investigations.
As officers piece together what led to this tragic incident, they particularly want to hear from anyone who may have seen a blue BMW 3 series car in the early hours of 23 March.
Inspector James Freeman said: "Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the two people who died today. We are working hard to establish what led up to this collision and would urge anyone with information to contact us."
