A man in his 40s has died following a crash between two vans, police said.

Cambridgeshire Police was called to Nene Parkway near Orton Longueville, Peterborough, at 08:45 BST on Thursday after a white Mercedes-Benz Panel Van and a silver Mercedes-Benz Box Van collided.

The force said the driver of the Panel Van, who was from Peterborough, was pronounced dead at the scene, and the other driver was taken to hospital as a precaution.
