POLICE are hunting for drivers in a convoy after a man died when his car crashed into a tree and caught fire.

The 40-year-old from South Warnborough, was driving a black Audi S5 which crashed on the B3349 Odiham Road near to the Golden Pot crossing at Shalden, just before 8pm on Tuesday, October 8.
