Layer: Appeal following fatal collision

Officers are appealing for any dashcam footage or information following a fatal collision between Tiptree and Colchester yesterday.

We were called to reports of a collision at the junction of Maldon Road and Roundbush Road at about 1.20pm on Thursday 26 September.

Two cars were reportedly involved in a collision and, despite the best efforts of those at the scene, a 30-year-old man sadly died at the scene.

The man’s family are being supported by specialist officers and a file will be prepared for the coroner.
