A 28-year-old man has died following a single vehicle collision that closed the A14 in both directions.

Cambridgeshire Police said it happened on the eastbound section of the dual carriageway, near Spaldwick, at about 02:00 BST.

The driver of the car, from Northstowe near Cambridge, was pronounced dead at the scene and was the only person in the vehicle. Police appealed for witness and dashcam footage.

National Highways said on X that the carriageway had been closed between junction 13 at Thrapston and junction 22 at the A1/Brampton at about 02:21, but police said it had since reopened.

Sgt Mark Atkins said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who sadly lost his life. His family are being supported by our specially trained family liaison officers.

"Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances, and we are appealing to anyone who saw the collision to contact us."
