Two drivers killed in A43 crash near Bulwick in Northamptonshire

Two drivers have been killed after their cars collided on a busy A-road.

The crash happened at about 11.45am on Thursday between a silver Skoda Roomster and a blue Mazda CX5 on the A43 in Northamptonshire.

The driver of the Skoda – a woman in her 60s – and the driver of the Mazda, a man in his 70s, died at the scene near the village of Bulwick, north-east of Corby.

A woman in her 40s in the Skoda was airlifted to Nottingham’s Queen’s Medical Centre with serious injuries, along with two children.

Three passengers in the Mazda – a woman in her 60s and two teenage women – were taken to University Hospital Coventry.

Officers believe the road would have been busy at that time of day and are appealing for witnesses or those who have dashcam footage.
