POLICE IN Northamptonshire investigating the death of a truck driver on the A45 say they gained useful leads from motorists.

Laurence McCourt died after an incident at 4am on Friday 27 July near Wellingborough. He was hit by building materials allegedly thrown from the Doddington Road bridge by two youths.

A week later police undertook an operation to speak to drivers and pedestrians who were near the spot between 3am and 5am, Detective Inspector Neil McMahon reports that the police interviewed 30 potential witnesses: It was a worthwhile operation which has led to some further opportunities for us. One person in particular provided us with some interesting information."

Debris was found in the cab of McCourfs truck and a post-mortem established he had died as a result of impact injures caused by building materials.

Two boys aged 14 and 15 are on bail pending further inquiries. A 16-year-old arrested in connection with the incident has been released without charge.

Anyone with information about the incident should contact Northamptonshire Police on 08453700 700 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
