Arrests made after teenager killed in crash in Flitwick

A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a teenager was killed in Bedfordshire, police said.

Officers were called to Greenfield Road, Flitwick, at 11.50pm on Friday after a car had been involved in a crash with three teenage boys, two riding a bike and another on a scooter.

One of them was pronounced dead at the scene, and the two others were taken to hospital with serious injuries, the force said.

The driver had left the scene but a blue BMW with significant damage was found on a nearby street.

The man and woman, both in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, driving over the prescribed limit and driving above the specified limit of a controlled drug.

Detective Sergeant Shona Searle, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire serious collision investigation unit, said: "First and foremost our thoughts are with the family of the boy who has lost his life in this incident, as well as the families of the two other boys who were injured.

"We are currently following several lines of inquiry to establish the circumstances around the collision and are asking for anyone who witnessed the incident or may have dash cam footage, doorbell footage or CCTV to get in touch as soon as possible."
