A man died following a crash between a car and a double-decker bus on a major road.

Emergency services were called to the A47 at Guyhirn in Cambridgeshire at about 14:45 BST on Saturday.

The driver of the car, an 18-year-old man from March, died at the scene, and six passengers were taken to hospital in King's Lynn, Norfolk, with minor injuries.

Sgt Mark Atkins said an investigation into the circumstances of the collision was continuing and appealed for anyone who witnessed it to come forward.

"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who sadly lost his life," he added.

"His family are being supported by our specially trained family liaison officers."

The road was closed between the Rings End roundabout and Wisbech for several hours.
