Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a fatal collision near St Albans.
At around 9am yesterday five vehicles - two cars, two vans and a lorry - were involved in a collision near the Park Street roundabout on the A414 North Orbital Road.
A man in his 60s was subsequently pronounced dead at the scene.
A 36 year old man from Luton was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by careless driving. He remains in police custody at this time.
Sergeant Simon Cooper, of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: "Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, a man sadly passed away at the scene.
"We have informed his next of kin, and they are currently being supported by specially trained officers. We ask that their privacy is respected at this difficult time.
"We are appealing for the public's help so we can give them some answers. If you were driving in the area at the time, did you witness the collision or the events leading up to it?
