Harlow: Detectives investigating fatal M11 collision

We are continuing our investigation into a serious collision at a junction of the M11 near Harlow.

Officers were called out to the scene, at Junction 7A, shortly before 12.55pm on Friday 5 July.

The collision involved two vehicles and officers worked at the scene alongside ambulance and fire service colleagues for a number of hours.

Sadly, we are now in a position to confirm the driver of one of the vehicles, a woman aged in her 60s, died at the scene.

Her family have been informed and are being supported.

Enquiries into the collision are being led by our Serious Collision Investigation Unit, with officers appealing for anyone with information or dashcam footage to come forward.

The road has since been reopened to traffic.

Anyone with information should contact us as soon as possible.

Please quote incident 470 of 5 July.
