A community has been left devastated after a man died in a "horrible" crash on a busy carriageway. Neighbours in Clifton expressed their condolences to the family and said the traffic was a "nightmare" this morning after a fatal collision on A453 which saw the road closed for most of the day.
Nottinghamshire Police said an investigation is underway after the two vehicles involved crashed on the A453 Remembrance Way, near Ratcliffe-on-Soar, at around 4.48am on Wednesday (May 4). Traffic monitoring site Inrix reported one vehicle involved was a motorbike. The collision happened between Green Street in Clifton and West Leake Lane, in Ratcliffe on Soar.
Trevor Smith, who lives in Clifton, said he had to divert this morning on his way to work shortly after 6am. He told Nottinghamshire Live: "I work in insulation in a power station, and I was on my way there. We were asked to divert."
