Sadly, the driver, a 69-year-old man, and the passenger, a 67-year-old woman, were both declared dead the scene. Their next of kin are aware and are being supported by specialist officers.

The collision took place between junctions 2 and 3 (westbound towards Lightwater) and the carriageway will remain shut for at least a few more hours. The eastbound carriageway has now re-opened two lanes.
