A man in his 50s has died after a Bugatti sports car and an ambulance collided in Bedfordshire.

Police were called to reports of a crash involving the blue sportscar and an ambulance travelling with blue lights on along the northbound carriageway of the A6 at around 6.30pm on Saturday.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, near Barton Road junction, but it has not been made clear which vehicle he was in.

While the man has not been formally identified, police have said his next of kin have been informed and are receiving support.

Sergeant Tim Davies, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire road policing unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim at this time.”

He also urged anyone who witnessed the collision and those who were driving along the road at that time to get in touch with Bedfordshire Police.
