A man has died after the Mercedes he was driving crashed into a roundabout.

The collision happened shortly before 07:30 GMT on Sunday between Stoke Hammond and Leighton Buzzard.

Thames Valley Police said the black Mercedes E320 was being driven southbound on the A4146 when it hit the Stoke Road roundabout.
