A 30-year-old man has been arrested in connection with an incident in which a woman in her 20s from Kettering died on Sunday, September 17.

Police officers continue to appeal for witnesses after the fatal road traffic collision on the A427, Harborough Road, near to the junction with Hermitage Road in Brampton Ash.

The crash took place at about 10.30pm on Sunday when a black Mini Cooper travelling from Corby towards Market Harborough left the road.

A spokesman for Northants Police said: “The incident is believed to have taken place at about 10.30pm on Sunday, September 17, when a black 52 plate Mini Cooper travelling from Corby towards Market Harborough, left the road for reasons unknown and went down an embankment before colliding with a fence and coming to rest in a field.

“Sadly, the front seat passenger, a woman in her 20s from Kettering, died at the scene.

“A 30-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and remains in police custody at this time.”

The spokesman said he has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and driving while above the legal limit of alcohol and drugs.
