A man has died following a crash involving a van and a car in a Leicestershire village.

Police were called to Foston Road in Countesthorpe shortly before 15:00 BST on Tuesday.

The incident involved a blue Citroen Nemo van and a grey Jaguar I-Pace, according to Leicestershire Police.

A man in his 30s, the driver of the van, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Jaguar driver, a man in his 50s, did not suffer serious injuries, police added in a statement.
