Two lorry drivers have died after their vehicles collided on the A15 on Christmas Eve morning.

Officers attended the Snitterby junction in Lincolnshire following a collision which involved a Volvo lorry and a Scania lorry at 9.33am. 

The drivers of the lorries, both 51, were sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

One man was from the Barnsley area and the other man from the Cleethorpes area, police said.

Lincolnshire Police initially thought the crash had involved two lorries and a car.

But they later confirmed that no car was involved in this incident.

Motorists have been told to avoid the area as the road is likely to be closed for some time.
