“The road is currently closed while emergency services, including ambulance and fire crews, deal with the incident.

“Anyone who witnessed the incident, particularly anyone with dashcam footage who was driving along the road prior to the collision, is asked to contact us straightaway on 101, quoting incident reference PR/P19038273.”

A spokeswoman for Surrey Fire and Rescue Service said three females and two males were in the car.

She said: “We were called to a tree on a car. We believe it was as a result of a road traffic collision. There was a report of a person trapped who unfortunately has died.

“There’s not other reports of any other vehicles involved. They extracted the man who sadly died. They did use cutting equipment for that. They also assisted with first aid with other passengers.”

The road is expected to remain closed tonight and at least until after tomorrow’s rush hour, she added.

“It’s being treated as a crime scene,” she said.
