Appeal following fatal collision on M11

We are appealing for witnesses following a fatal collision on the M11 this morning.

Officers were called to Junction 8 of the M11 shortly before 6am this morning (28 April) following a single vehicle collision.

Emergency services attended and the road was quickly closed.

Despite best efforts of paramedics on the scene, a woman in her 40s sadly died at the scene.

Her family have been made aware.

A 42-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and remains in custody.

The northbound has since been re-opened and the southbound remains closed to allow for the recovery of the vehicle involved. We thank road users for their patience.  

Detectives from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit are continuing to investigate the circumstances around this collision.

We are asking anyone who may have any dashcam or further information which could assist with the investigation to contact us, quoting incident number 216 of 28 April.
