Three people have died after a car and van crashed in Cirencester on Saturday morning.

The Ford Transit and a Ford Focus collided at around 8.50am on Saturday on the B4425 Bibury Road. The 51-year-old driver of the van and car passenger, 72, were pronounced dead at the scene.

“Officers would also like to speak to anybody who may have dashcam footage which they believe would be relevant, or who saw anything unusual on the road in the time beforehand.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Gloucestershire Constabulary through the website, quoting incident 100 of 5 November.”
