Two women and a man have died at the scene of a collision on the A38, which also left two other people seriously injured.

Emergency services were called to the incident, which involved one car, at around 2.15am on Saturday (23 April).

The car, a silver Ford Focus, was on the southbound carriageway of the A38, near to the exit for the B600 at Somercotes, when it left the road and collided with a tree.

A man and a woman were taken to hospital with serious injuries. They both remain in hospital, the man in a critical condition and the woman in a stable condition.

Officers would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the crash or noticed the car, which had been travelling southbound on the M1 before the collision.

Derbyshire Police say they'd especially like to hear from anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage which could help with enquiries.
