A young girl and a woman have died following a crash in Plymouth.

Emergency services were called to Victoria Road at around 9.45am on Sunday 24 March, to a report of a collision involving a car and two pedestrians.

They sustained serious injuries and were taken to hospital. Police have since been informed that they have both died - their next of kin have been informed.

A 74-year-old woman from Plymouth has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and of driving while unfit through drink or drugs.

She has since been released under investigation.

Sergeant Troy Bennett, who is leading the investigation, said: “Specialist officers from the Serious Collisions Investigation Team are investigating the circumstances of this tragic collision.

“We would urge anyone with any information or footage from dashcams or doorbells to contact us.”

Police are appealing for witnesses. Anyone with information or dashcam footage is asked to contact the force via their website or by calling 101 quoting log 240 of 24 March.
