Two fatal crashes on same part of A1(M) on same day
GoogleA second person in their 80s has died following two separate crashes on the same stretch of motorway on the same day.
Hertfordshire Police said a woman in her 80s died four days after a collision between a pink Kia Picanto and a white Peugeot Boxer lorry near junction eight, for Stevenage north, of the A1(M) northbound.
The collision happened at about 14:00 GMT on Thursday 2 January. Earlier that same day a man, also in his 80s, was fatally injured in crash involving a red Mazda near the northbound entrance of junction nine, for Letchworth Garden City.
A police spokesman said: "There was heavy traffic in the area at the time due to a road closure at junction nine following a separate incident."
They added: "I am hopeful that the busy traffic means that there are witnesses out there who can help.
"If anyone has dashcam footage that can assist our enquiries, please upload it via herts.police.uk/dashcamupload.
"Our thoughts remain with the family of the woman at this difficult time."
