Crash leaves man in 80s in critical condition

A man in his 80s is in a critical condition following a two-car crash.

Emergency services were called to the A505 northbound near Royston, Hertfordshire, at 16:55 BST on Friday, after a black Nissan Juke and a black Skoda Fabia collided.

The man, in the Skoda, was taken to hospital, while a woman driving the Nissan suffered minor injuries. Both were the sole occupants of the vehicles.

Hertfordshire Constabulary has appealed for any witnesses to come forward. The road has since been fully reopened.

Earlier on Friday a car came off the A505 in a separate incident and crashed into a house, killing a teenager and leaving two others seriously hurt.
