Nottinghamshire drivers are being told to take extra care amid a "shocking" number of collisions which have claimed the lives of three young people in the past week. Two men, aged 19 and 17, died in a collision in Gonalston on Thursday , in an incident which left others seriously injured.
Sergeant Mark Baker, of Nottinghamshire Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "One of the worst jobs a police officer ever has to do is tell somebody their loved one has died in a road traffic collision. Our officers have attended a shocking number of fatal collisions recently and it is heartbreaking to have to knock on someone's door and give them the awful news face-to-face that their loved one will not be coming home.
