Two people have died after a crash in Rutland.

A silver Fiat Qubo and a black Volkswagen Golf collided on the A47 Peterborough Road in Barrowden just before 4pm yesterday afternoon (9 May).

A man and a woman in the Fiat were pronounced dead at the scene - no one in the other vehicle was seriously hurt.

A 54-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink or drugs.

Detective Constable Kasie Carter, from the SCIU, said: ā€œOur investigation is very much ongoing and we are carrying out a number of enquiries into the incident.

ā€œI would ask that anyone who was travelling along the A47 this afternoon and saw what happened, but has not yet come forward, to do so.

ā€œI am particularly keen to speak to any motorists with a dashcam or who saw either vehicle prior to the collision occurring. Any footage or information you have could be vital.ā€

If you can help police with their enquiries, you're asked to contact them, quoting reference 394 of 9 May.
