The emergency services were called to more than 10 collisions in two days, five of which happened within an hour of each other.

A three year-old boy, Henry James Blacklock, was killed when a black Jaguar collided with a Renault Clio on the B1063 between Chevely and Ashley, near Newmarket. The incident happened at 7:12pm on Saturday.

The male driver of the Renault was rushed to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, but the child, a passenger in the car, died at the scene.

The 30 year-old male driver of the Jaguar, from Newmarket, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Just five minutes later, a 53 year-old cyclist, Colin Roberts, of Southern Road, Hall Green, Birmingham, was killed after he was hit by a white Ford Transit van on the A428 between Dry Drayton and Cambourne.

A 30 year-old man, from London, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Earlier in the day, at 6:10am, 36 year-old Daniel Edwards, of Rosemary Way, Downham Market, was killed when his Honda motorcycle collided with a red articulated lorry on the A10, near Stretham.
