Debris from the crash also hit another car

A motorcyclist has died following a crash with a tractor on the A142. The rider of a yellow Yamaha motorbike was travelling from the Block Fen Drove roundabout towards Chatteris when he collided with a tractor travelling in the opposite direction at about 8.11pm yesterday (March 31).

Officers and paramedics attended, but the motorcyclist, a 53-year-old man from March, sadly died at the scene.
