A witness appeal has been launched after a woman in her 80s died in a crash on the A1 between Biggleswade and Baldock Services on Easter Monday.

The fatal collision happened on the A1 going southbound at around 10.45pm between Biggleswade and Junction 10 of the A1(M).

A grey Toyota Aygo crashed with a silver Vauxhall Insignia. The driver of the Toyota – a woman in her 80s – sadly died at the scene as a result of her injuries.

The driver and a passenger of the Vauxhall suffered slight injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment.

Officers from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit BCH Road Policing Unit believe the Toyota may have been in the North Baldock area prior to the collision.

“I’m appealing for anyone who was in the area around the time stated and saw the grey Toyota Aygo shortly before the collision or witnessed the incident itself to please get in touch.

“We believe that the Toyota may have been in Biggleswade and the North Baldock area prior to the collision.

“I would also like to hear from anyone who was in that area and believes they saw the car and its driver.”
