Despite their best efforts, two pedestrians were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police are working to identify and inform their next of kin.

Four other people were taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

A 30-year-old man, the driver of the Mitsubishi, was arrested on suspicion of two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, and driving while unfit.

He has since been bailed pending further enquiries.

An investigation has been launched and officers are appealing for witnesses and anyone who may have dash cam footage to come forward.
