A man who died after being hit by a lorry in the wake of a crash has been named.
Nathan Thomas Morris, from Farmworth, was 'struck and killed by a lorry' after getting out of his car on the A1 near Sawtry, police say.
Emergency services raced to the scene at roughly 7am on Monday (January 17) after receiving reports of a serious accident, Manchester Evening News reports.
Cambridgeshire Police says the 29-year-old had gotten out of his Ford Fiesta after hitting the central reservation on the northbound carriageway.
Officers say Mr Morris, of Plodder Lane, was then struck by a lorry on the road.
Another driver suffered minor injuries in what police describe as a 'linked collision' between a BMW 1 Series and a Nissan Leaf.
Cambridgeshire Police is now urging anyone with information in connection with the collision to come forward.
