Victims of fatal accident near RAF Cranwell are named

June 24, 2024 by Grantham Matters Leave a Comment

Police have named the two young men who died following the collision on the A17 near RAF Cranwell, at North Rauceby as 17-year-old William Ray, known as Will, and 18 year-old Eddie Shore. Both are from the Sleaford area.

Both families have asked for privacy while they deal with their respective loss.

Two other teenagers who were travelling in the same car continue to receive medical care. All four occupants of the car, were taken to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham,  

They were travelling in a black Ford Fiesta on Thursday evening when they were in a collision with an Audi. The road was closed for nearly 12 hours.

Police inquiries into the circumstances of the collision are ongoing, and they ask that people do not speculate about what happened; such speculation is both very distressing for the families of those who have died and those who were injured, and can harm the investigation.

Officers were called to the incident shortly before 22:00 BST on Thursday

Three people in the Audi sustained minor injuries.

Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances of the collision and have appealed for anyone with dashcam footage, or who was in the area at the time, to get in touch.

To get in touch, email SCIUinvestigators@lincs.police.uk quoting the incident number 495 of Thursday, 20 June.
