A man in his sixties was pronounced dead at the scene after his white BMW 6 series collided with a lorry on the eastbound carriageway of the A47 between Uppingham and Billesdon.
The accident happened at the junction with the B6047 Harborough Road shortly after 11am on Wednesday 31 August 2022. No other injuries were reported and no arrests have been made. Police are keen to speak to anyone who was travelling on the A47.
Detective Sergeant Ed Des-Chanelle, from the force’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: “I’m particularly keen to speak to anyone who was travelling on the A47 and saw the BMW prior to the collision occurring – namely between 9.20am and 11am. I’d also ask any motorists with dashcam footage to come forward. Furthermore, I believe there may be people who saw the collision occur but left the scene prior to police attending. Any information you’re able to provide, no matter how insignificant you think it is, could help our investigation.”
