Two-year-old killed in motorway collision - as five others in hospital with serious injuries

Tuesday, 23 December 2025 11:03

A two-year-old boy has died, and five others have been seriously injured after their broken-down car was hit by another vehicle on the A1 motorway.

The collision occurred on Saturday at about 6.20pm when a Toyota Auris was struck by a Volkswagen Touran in a live lane of the A1 northbound, just past the Stibbington junction.

The boy from London was one of six passengers who were in the Toyota.

The five other passengers from London were taken to Peterborough City Hospital with serious injuries.

A 64-year-old man, the driver of the Volkswagen, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has been released on bail until 20 March.

He suffered minor injuries.

Cambridgeshire Police are investigating the incident and appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage.

Sgt David McIlwhan said: "Our thoughts are with the parents and family of this young child who has tragically lost his life in this collision. The family is being supported by specialist family liaison officers.

"I would appeal for anyone who witnessed the collision or has dashcam footage but was unable to stop at the scene, to get in touch."
