A baby and three adults died after a car veered off a road and collided with trees in Derby on Saturday night. The incident occurred on the A38 dual carriageway between the A50 Toyota Island and the A516.
Emergency services were dispatched to the scene at approximately 11:00 PM BST. Police stated that two women, aged 18 and 30, and a 36-year-old man, were pronounced dead at the scene. A baby girl was transported to a local hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries shortly after arrival.
The driver of the red Hyundai car, a 33-year-old man, sustained serious injuries and was taken to the hospital, where he remains. He has since been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. Authorities confirmed that all individuals involved in the crash were from Leeds, West Yorkshire. Their families have been notified and are receiving support from specialist officers.
The A38 was closed for several hours while the crash site was being processed by emergency services, but has since been reopened. Derbyshire Police are appealing for any witnesses or individuals with dashcam footage of the collision to come forward.
