Two men in their 30s have died at the scene of a single-vehicle collision in the early hours of Sunday.

The fatal crash happened shortly after 2.40am on the southbound carriageway of the M1 between junctions 14 and 13.

Detective Sergeant Ben Heath, from Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the families of the two men who lost their lives in this tragic incident.

“This was a very serious incident, and we would urge anyone who may have seen this vehicle prior to the collision, or who has dashcam footage that could help us establish the full circumstances, to get in touch.”
