A man in his 60s was killed after the car he was driving crashed into a church wall.

Hertfordshire Police said a black Ford Focus was travelling on the A41/M25 roundabout on Hempstead Road, Watford, at about 04:15 BST on Sunday.

The car crossed over the road and hit the wall of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, by Russells Nursery, it added.

The man, the only person in the car, was found unresponsive and died at the scene.

Sgt Tim Davies from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Roads Policing Unit said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man at this difficult time.

"As part of our investigations into what happened, I am appealing to anyone who either witnessed the collision or was driving in the area at the time of the incident to please contact me."
