Iain MacDonald, 47, of Uppingham, died when his red Toyota MR2 Roadster was involved in a collision with a green Vauxhall Astra on the A47, near the junction with the A43, at about 4.30pm on Friday.
The driver of the Vauxhall Astra received serious injuries and was taken to University Hospitals of Coventry and Warwickshire, where he remains in a stable condition.
