A tragic road accident in the UK has claimed the life of a 40-year-old woman and left five children injured, according to a report by the Daily Mail.

Northamptonshire Police have confirmed that two men have been arrested in connection with the crash. A 53-year-old man from Bedfordshire and a 22-year-old man from Northamptonshire are currently in police custody as investigations continue.

According to police, the Mercedes was carrying six passengers at the time of the collision. The deceased woman, aged 40, was a passenger in the Mercedes and sadly died at the scene.

In a public appeal, a spokesperson for Northamptonshire Police said, “Detectives from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit would like to hear from anyone who may have dash-cam footage that captured any part of the collision." More details in the case are awaited as police investigates the matter.
