The Honda was heading north towards Corby along the A43 when, shortly after the junction for Weekley Wood Avenue, it left the carriageway, crossed the central reservation, and collided with a black Volkswagen Golf travelling in the opposite direction.

The Honda driver was taken to University Hospital Coventry with serious, life-threatening injuries and died there yesterday (November 1), a police spokesman said.

In the moments before the collision, the Honda was seen travelling with a blue Seat Leon.

A 27-year-old Corby man who was arrested in connection with the collision has been released under investigation as enquiries continue.
