A Peterborough man has died and three children were injured in a road accident that closed a Rutland road for several hours.
Yasar Mushtaq, 33, died at the scene after his car collided with two lorries on the A47 near the village of Morcott in Rutland on Thursday afternoon.
One of the children is in critical condition at Birmingham Children's Hospital and another is stable at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre.
Neither of the lorry drivers was hurt.
The third child was taken to Peterborough Hospital and released after treatment.
