This caused the truck to veer into the southbound carriageway and collide with a white Ford courier van. The driver of the Ford courier van – a 32-year-old man – died at the scene.

Today a Northamptonshire Police spokesman confirmed a 21-year-old man from Kettering was arrested over the crash and has since been released on bail pending further enquiries.

The incident was the 38th road death in Northamptonshire this year.
