It was caused by a lack of safe distance, the force said.

“The lorry was in front of the car and no safe distance was kept between the vehicles,” a police statement said. "The car crashed into the lorry that was driven by an Asian resident."

Emergency crews, including traffic patrols and an ambulance, rushed to the accident site and took the dead man and his injured brother to hospital.
