A WOMAN was killed in a three-car smash near Croydon yesterday.

Police are appealing for witnesses after the 60-year old woman, from a village near Royston, was killed after her green Proton car was involved in a collision with a red Kia Picanto and a red Vauxhall Astra.

The incident occurred at 5pm yesterday on the B1042 Lower Road, near the roundabout with the A603 and A1198.
