Tragedy as man dies in Littlefield Lane crash

A man has sadly died following a crash in Grimsby on Tuesday afternoon. The incident on Littlefield Lane happened at around 3pm when a van was in collision with a car, which then collided with another car. The driver of the van suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene.

His family has been informed and is being supported by specially-trained officers. Another man involved in the collision suffered what are thought to be minor injuries. Yesterday afternoon, Littlefield Lane was closed along with Corinthian Avenue, Windstone Avenue and Landeck Avenue.

Motorists were asked to avoid the area until further notice but the roads appear to have reopened.

Humberside Police has since launched an appeal for witnesses this morning.

A spokesperson for the force said: “Anyone that witnessed the incident is asked to call our non-emergency 101 line quoting log 261 of 12 December.”
