Two lorry drivers have died in a crash on the A15 in Lincolnshire on Christmas Eve morning.
The two men, both 51, died after a collision between a Volvo lorry and a Scania lorry at the Snitterby junction north of Caenby Corner.
One of the men was from the Barnsley area of South Yorkshire and the other was from Cleethorpes in north-east Lincolnshire, a Lincolnshire Police statement said.
The men have not been named.
Police are appealing for anyone who can provide an eyewitness account or dashcam footage of the incident to get in touch.
The road remained closed for most of Christmas Eve, one of the single busiest road travel days of the year.

The A14 between Brampton Interchange and Thrapston in Cambridgeshire was also closed on Christmas Eve due to a “very serious” crash.
A National Highways spokesperson said: “The A14 westbound in Cambridgeshire is closed between J22 Brampton Interchange and J13 Thrapston. This is due to a very serious collision.
“Cambridgeshire Police, Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue are attending the scene. Information from the scene indicates that this closure will be in place for a number of hours for police investigations.”
It came as a lorry crash on the M40 in Oxfordshire in the early hours of Tuesday morning, caused the road to be closed between Junction 8a for Waterstock and Junction 6 for Lewknor.
Meanwhile horses stopped traffic on the M62 near Rochdale after escaping from a nearby field and a broken down vehicle closed a lane on the M1 southbound between junctions 40 and 39.
All road obstructions appeared to have been cleared by the morning of Christmas Day.
