Three men were killed and two other people seriously hurt when a people-carrier was involved in a head-on crash with a lorry.

One of the people badly injured in the crash on the A141 at Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, was a 17-year-old man.

Police said seven people were travelling in the silver Toyota Emina Estima when it hit a Scania lorry.

A spokeswoman said a 38-year-old man, who was driving the people-carrier, also suffered serious injuries. Two men aged 28 suffered minor injuries.

The driver of the lorry also suffered minor injuries.

Police have yet to release details about the three dead men, who were all passengers in the Toyota.

Sources said it was thought that all the people travelling in the people-carrier were from Eastern Europe.
