Three people are in hospital with serious injuries after a crash.

Derbyshire Police said the single-vehicle crash happened at about 04:00 GMT on Wednesday, at a junction near to the Festival Inn pub in Trowell, on the Derbyshire-Nottinghamshire border.

The A609 Ilkeston Road, A609 Nottingham Road and A6007 Stapleford Road have been closed while an investigation is under way.

Police said officers had tried to stop the vehicle at about 03:50.

The three in hospital were in the vehicle involved in the crash, which occurred where the main roads meet.

The force has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which a police spokesperson said "is standard procedure due to the police contact prior to the collision".

A spokesperson for the IOPC said: "We can confirm that we have received a mandatory referral from Derbyshire Constabulary today in relation to this incident.

"We will now carry out an assessment to determine what action may be required from us."
