A Kettering[1] HGV driver has died after his lorry left the road and hit a fence at an RAF base. Emergency services were called to the Townsend Road junction for Wittering village on the northbound carriageway of the A1.
At around 3.20pm on Sunday (May 28) they found an articulated HGV had left the road and collided with the perimeter fence of RAF Wittering. The driver of the HGV, a man in his 40s from the Kettering area, was pronounced dead at the scene.

He said: "The HGV lorry driver has sadly lost his life and my thoughts are with him and his loved ones. I would like to hear from anyone who may have seen the lorry before it left the road or has dashcam footage.”
A spokesperson for the force said: "Anyone with information should report it[3] on the force website using reference 35/39538/23. Anyone without internet access should call 101."
