A major road was closed after a motorcyclist died following a collision with a car.

Bedfordshire Police said they were called to the A6 near Souldrop at about 06:00 BST, to reports of a crash.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The road was closed in both directions[1] between the petrol station at Souldrop and Knotting Green.

The force appealed for witnesses who saw the incident, or the motorcycle and blue VW polo travelling along the A6, prior to the collision.

It added the road will likely remain closed for the rest of the day and urged motorists to take an alternative route.
