High-Speed Chase Ends in Tragedy

A man has died after plunging into floodwater while fleeing police near a Derbyshire village. The drama unfolded early Saturday when officers responded to reports of a stolen caravan in Oakerthorpe.

Police gave chase as the caravan was driven recklessly, repeatedly ramming police vehicles. The pursuit finally ended near Egginton, where two men fled on foot.
