POLICE have renewed an appeal for witnesses after a man died following a crash on the A12 yesterday (Monday, 21 June).

Police were called to reports of a collision on the southbound stretch of the road, between Hatfield Peverel and Boreham, just before 11.50am.

The driver of a blue Honda Jazz, a man in his 40s, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries and died a short time later.

His loved ones have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

Two 47-year-old men who were at the scene of the crash – one driving a blue V50 Sport Volvo, and the other a passenger in the vehicle – were arrested at the scene and remain in custody to be interviewed.

A police spokesperson said: "We believe the Honda Jazz joined the A12 at the Copdock roundabout in Suffolk, and we are keen to seek out dashcam of this vehicle – and the others involved – driving prior to the collision."
