Arrest as three people die in single-vehicle crash on A46

In Leicestershire, a serious single-vehicle accident on the A46 resulted in the deaths of three individuals. Emergency responders were alerted shortly after 1:00 a.m. GMT on Saturday, following reports that a blue BMW 5 series had veered off the road between the areas of Thrussington and Sileby. The vehicle was heading southbound from Nottingham when the crash occurred, according to Leicestershire Police.

A 37-year-old woman has been taken into custody on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remains under police detention as investigations continue. Authorities were informed about the collision by a fourth occupant of the car, who sustained only minor injuries. This individual’s account has become a focal point in the ongoing inquiry.

Officers from the serious collision investigation unit have been actively collecting evidence to understand the full circumstances of the incident. While the northbound carriageway of the A46 has reopened, the southbound side remains closed and is expected to stay shut throughout Sunday. Recovery operations and forensic examinations have been carried out extensively at the scene.

Detective Constable Madeleine Hayes expressed the somber nature of the event, stating, “This is a tragic incident with three people losing their lives.” She also appealed for witnesses, asking anyone driving in the area prior to the crash to come forward. Specifically, the police are urging individuals to review any dashcam footage recorded between 00:30 and 01:05 and share any relevant information to aid the investigation
