The van, which is pictured carrying an unusual load, was not involved in the collision and the driver is sought only as a potential key witness.
Detective Sergeant Ben Heath, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Our enquiries into the cause of this collision are ongoing and we’re hopeful that the driver of the van and any other occupants may have key information to help establish the cause of the crash. I would like to reassure them that they are not in any trouble.
“The van was travelling down Cobbler’s Lane at around 8.20am towards Ridgmont and went into the village, where it turned left towards Woburn Safari Park. We are hoping people will recognise the van due to the load it was carrying.
