Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage after a man died in a collision on the Nene Parkway in Peterborough this morning.
The collision between a white Mercedes-Benz Panel Van and a silver Mercedes-Benz Box Van happened at about 8.45am today (31 July).

The driver of the silver Box Van remained at the scene and was taken to hospital as a precaution. No arrests have been made at this time.
Detective Inspector Garry Webb said: “This is an awful event that has resulted in a man losing his life and my thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this difficult time.
“We would like to hear from anyone who still hasn’t spoken to officers who saw the crash or has dashcam footage of it.”
Anyone with information or footage should use reference ‘Op Borough’ and report it through the force website.

The crash is the second fatal incident to happen on roads in and around the city in the space of two days.
