Woman arrested after crash that killed two pensioners in Derbyshire village

It follows a collision in Chaddesden, just outside of Derby, that saw a man and woman in their 80s die.

The incident occurred just after 2pm in Nottingham Road – close to the junction of Highfield Lane – on Tuesday, June 13.

A Ford Mondeo and a Jaguar XF were involved in the incident.

The driver of the Jaguar, a man in his 80s, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries but did not survive, while the passenger, a woman also in her 80s, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Mondeo, a woman in her 60s, was taken to hospital and has subsequently been arrested and released on non-conditional bail.
