THREE people have been killed and another person was injured after a horror crash in the early hours of the morning.
Cops and emergency services scrambled to the scene on the A46 city bound between Thrussington and Sileby in Leicestershire, yesterday morning.
The car, a blue BMW 5 series, was travelling southbound from Nottingham when it left the road, police said.
The A46 was closed immediately following the crash, while detectives from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) tried to gather evidence to establish what had happened. It remained shut for about 22 hours.
A 37-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and is in police custody.
Speaking about the incident, DC Madeleine Hayes from SCIU said: “This is a tragic incident with three people losing their lives.
“We know the car was travelling on the A46 from Nottingham. I’d like to speak to anyone who was driving in the area who may have witnessed events leading up to the collision.
“I would ask that people view their dashcam footage between 12.30am and 1.05am to help police with their enquiries.”
