Three people have been taken to hospital following a collision involving two cars and three e-bikes in Nottingham.

Emergency services were called to the A52 Derby Road near Wollaton Park at 04:22 BST on Sunday.

Nottinghamshire Police said all three bike riders were taken to hospital with injuries "not currently believed to be life threatening in nature".

Two men, aged 24 and 25, have been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, the force added.

A police car and a crime scene investigation van are parked on a road.

Police said the road would remain closed between the Priory and Queen's Medical Centre roundabouts for much of the day as specialist teams investigate the collision.

Diversions are in place but the force warned the closure was likely to cause disruption.

Supt Chris Sullivan said: "This was a very serious incident and specialist collision investigators are working hard to understand exactly what happened.

"Our inquiries are at a very early stage and we want to hear from anyone with any information which could assist.

"We'd particularly urge anyone who was driving in the area at the time and has relevant dashcam footage to get in touch without delay."
