Two killed in crash
Two men have died in a collision on the A17 road between Leadenham and Brant Broughton.
Police have completed their initial investigations on site, but the road will remain closed until this afternoon (Monday) for debris to be cleared.
Officers were called to the scene just after 7pm on Friday, January 10 to find a white Ford Transit van and tanker HGV had collided.
The 68-year-old lorry driver and 23-year-old man in the van were both pronounced dead at the scene. Next of kin have been informed and will be supported by specially trained officers.
There were no other people in the vehicles, and no other vehicles are believed to have been involved.
Police are now asking anyone who witnessed the incident or who has a dashcam and was in the area at the time to check their footage.
We are keen to view footage which shows either vehicle in the minutes before the collision. The white ford transit was travelling from the Sleaford direction towards Newark along the A17 while the tanker was going the opposite way.
