A woman was killed after the e-bike she was on was rammed by a Land Rover, police say
Derbyshire Constabulary say the 4×4, believed to be a Land Rover Discovery, followed two e-bikes on Batley Lane before ramming one of them.
The rider, a man in his 20s, and the woman, 25, riding pillion were thrown off the bike after cops say they were rammed – with the car not stopping.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene while the man was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Two people, a man and a woman both in their 30s from the Skegby area of Nottinghamshire, have now been arrested in connection with the incident and currently remain in police custody.
DCI Claudia Musson, who is leading the investigation, said: “This is an understandably shocking incident that has left a family grieving the loss of a young woman.
“A team of detectives have been working non-stop since the incident took place and have generated significant lines of enquiry.
“We are, however, wanting to hear from anyone who has any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to help us bring those responsible to justice.
“Of particular interest is anyone with information about a dark coloured Land Rover Discovery, it may be that you saw it in the area around the time of the incident – or you have seen a vehicle matching this description that may have sustained damage or been recently repaired.”
Cops say the car was last seen on Rowthorne Lane where it turned right onto the A617 towards New Houghton.
They believe the dark coloured Land Rover Discovery was manufactured between 2004 and 2009.
