Two men have been killed and four people seriously injured in a two-car city centre crash.
Emergency services were called to Hastings Road, off Uppingham Road, at about 8.25pm on Saturday following reports of a serious collision.
They arrived to find two cars had crash near the junction of Buckland Road.
The driver and front seat passenger of a black Honda Civic were pronounced dead at the scene.
Two other men, who were in the back of the car, have been taken to hospital and are being treated for serious injuries.
One is at Queen's Medical Centre, in Nottingham and the second man is in a serious condition at University Hospitals of Coventry and Warwickshire.
The two occupants of the second car, a black Mitsubishi Shogun - a man and a woman - also received serious injuries.
The man has been released from hospital.
However, the woman remains in the Queen's Medical Centre.
Crash investigators are today trying to piece together what happened in the lead up to the collision.
They believe that the Honda was travelling along Hastings Road towards Forest Road and the Mitsubishi was travelling in the opposite direction towards Tailby Avenue when the crash took place.
Detective sergeant Mark Watling from the East Midlands Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "If anyone witnessed the collision or the events leading up to it then we would urge you to contact the relevant investigating officer on 101."
