Roads have re-opened following a fatal car crash earlier today.

Vaughan Road, Sun Lane and Station Road were closed after a car hit a pedestrian who was believed to be sitting on a bench outside Sainsbury’s in Bower’s Parade, Harpenden.

Emergency services blocked off the roads while they treated a man, believed to be in his 60s, who later died at the scene.

The road has been closed since this morning to allow the ambulance and police services to deal with the situation.
