Police are appealing for witnesses after a man crashed into a wall and died.

Gloucestershire Police was called to the A436 in Notgrove, near Cheltenham, shortly before 20:25 BST on Thursday to a report a silver Ford Focus had crashed on a country lane.

Emergency services were unable to save the driver- a man in his 30s- who was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin has been informed.

Officers want to speak to anyone who saw the car driving along the A436 from Bourton-on-the-Water towards Andoversford between 19:00 and 20:00 BST, or who may have dashcam or CCTV footage of the moments before the crash.
