The A15 was closed as police investigated the cause of the crash

Three women have died in a crash between a car and a lorry in Lincolnshire amid weather warnings after snow and ice hit the county.

The vehicles were travelling in opposite directions when they collided on the A15 near Baston at 06:15 GMT.

Investigators said it was too early to say whether the weather was a factor.

The women were all travelling in the car and a fourth occupant sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries.

John Siddle, from Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership, said the lorry driver was "unscathed".

Police said officers were still working to inform family members of the deaths.
