Four people, including a baby girl, have died after a red Hyundai car left the A38 dual carriageway and crashed into trees in Derby, police have said.
The driver, a 33-year-old man from Leeds, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remains in hospital with serious injuries.
“Four people including a baby girl died after a car crash on the A38 in Derby; driver arrested.”
Emergency services were called to the southbound carriageway between the A50 Toyota Island and the A516 at about 11pm on Saturday, July 25, following reports of a collision.
Two women, aged 18 and 30, and a 36-year-old man were declared dead at the scene. The baby girl was taken to hospital but died shortly after.
Derbyshire Police said all four victims were passengers in the car. All those involved were from Leeds in West Yorkshire.
The relatives have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
“Our thoughts are with them at this most distressing time,” a police spokesperson said.
The A38 was closed for several hours overnight while emergency services and collision investigators worked at the scene. The road has since reopened.
An investigation is ongoing, and officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to contact Derbyshire Police, quoting incident number 26*442464.
