Weather warning after road deaths
Road safety experts are warning the hot weather could be partly to blame for a spate of fatal crashes in Lincolnshire.

Two deaths on Wednesday have brought the total fatalities in the past two days to five, including three children.

Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership said it was too early to say what exactly caused the crashes.

But it believed sunny conditions could lead to dangerous conditions, such as slippery melted roads, dazzled drivers and a lack of concentration.

On Wednesday morning a local motorcyclist was killed at West Ashby near Horncastle, and a man died when he crashed into a fence in Boston.
