Man dies and two arrested after serious crash

Closures are currently in place on Princess Elizabeth Way

A 36-year-old man has died following a serious crash in Cheltenham, police say.

Emergency services were called to a report of a single-vehicle collision at the Benhall Roundabout at about 00:40 GMT.

A man from Cheltenham was declared dead at the scene and his next of kin had been informed, officers said.

Two men, both in their 30s and from Gloucester, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remained in police custody while inquiries continued, they added.

Closures have been put in place on Princess Elizabeth Way, and on Gloucester Road from Arle Court Roundabout, and from Red Apple Garage towards GCHQ. There is also a closure at Telstar Way onto the A40.

Police said the roads were likely to remain closed for some time while collision investigators examined the scene and motorists were being asked to find alternative routes.

Anyone with any information or dashcam footage of the crash has been asked to get in contact with Gloucestershire Constabulary.
