A man has been arrested after footage of a deadly car crash scene was shared on social media.
Two men died on the A50 in Derby on Sunday morning when a Bentley Bentayga left the road and hit a bridge pillar.
Images and video of the aftermath have been circulating online, Derbyshire Police said.
On Wednesday, a 64-year-old from Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, was arrested on suspicion of malicious communications and harassment.
He has been bailed pending further enquiries.
Detective Constable Trish Siddall-Hart, from the force's serious collision investigation unit, said: "We ask that members of the public do not take or share images and footage following serious and fatal collisions such as this as it causes the families involved further distress.
"We treat these matters very seriously and will always endeavour to identify anyone involved in this type of behaviour."
The crash victims have yet to be named publicly.
