Two more people have been arrested after a car crashed into pedestrians in Leicester.
Police were called to the incident in De Montfort Street in the city centre at 00:34 BST on Saturday, which left three people with serious injuries and one person with minor injuries.
A 31-year-old man, from Leicester, had already been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and causing serious injury by dangerous driving and has since been released on police bail.

Nearly 6,000 people took part in a consultation exercise on the new East West Railway line that will ultimately link Oxford to Cambridge.
There were events at 16 locations along the proposed route between November 2024 and January 2025.
At the events, East West Rail presented information on work to upgrade the existing line between Oxford and Bedford, as well as the proposed new line between Bedford and Cambridge.
It is the third non-statutory consultation that has been carried out, and will help inform the final design, which will be presented for consideration next year.
The highest level of interest came from people who attended the events in Comberton, Great Shelford and Cambourne in Cambridgeshire.
People largely saw the new route as good for the UK's economic development and felt it could drive up local property values, especially in areas like Bicester and Cambourne.
They also felt it could address housing shortages, with more development near the new stations in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
There was concern about the demolition of homes, disruption and negative impacts on businesses and house prices during a prolonged construction phase, as well as the visual impact of the line.
There were questions too about some station designs, changes to major roads and bridges in Bedford and Bicester, and the environmental impact of a viaduct over the River Great Ouse floodplain.
East West Rail said its technical team would now be going through the comments in detail to see if there were any refinements that could be made to the designs.
The creation of a new adult social care team has helped to reduce waiting times for people seeking support in Wolverhampton, the council has said.
City of Wolverhampton Council recently established the front door team as part of its programme to transform adult social care in the area.
It acts as a first point of contact for vulnerable adults who need directing to what support is available, and the authority said it had helped to simplify the process for residents.
According to the council, it has helped to cut the time it takes for people to get support from months to fewer than five days in most cases.
The number of people needing help from social workers has also reduced by half due to the front door team being able to resolve their issues.
The authority's transformation programme, which includes providing more community-based services outside of care homes, came amid rising demand for adult social care in the city, with an increase of 31% over the last five years.
Its budget for care packages has also increased by £44.6m in that time, with a further £1m approved for 2025 to 2026.
Councillor Paula Brookfield, the council's cabinet member for adults, said adult social care was a "top priority" for people in Wolverhampton.
"We are determined to ensure adult social care services are the best they can possibly be, but we must also be mindful that the increase in costs which we have seen in recent years is not sustainable in the long term," she said.
Ex-Wolves and England footballer Geoff Thomas is riding in his seventh Tour De France this summer to raise money towards clinical leukaemia trials.
The retired player and former leukaemia sufferer will be part of a team to cycle the full 2,200-mile (3,540km) route across 21 days in June and July.
The challenge aims to raise £1m for Cure Leukaemia, with Thomas describing it as the "most gruelling" of his life.
He said: "I first did it in 2005, when I was six months in remission – if I could do it then, what's stopping me now?"
Thomas, who lives in Worcestershire, received nine caps for the national team, but was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in 2003, a year after he retired.
He subsequently raised millions of pounds for charity, became a patron of Cure Leukaemia and launched his own charity, The Geoff Thomas Foundation.
He said if he could reach the finishing line in Paris in July, setting off a week before the pro riders, it would "eclipse anything" he had ever done on a football pitch.
"I don't really think you can do enough training – it's about getting as many miles in your legs as possible, without fatiguing yourself," he said.
"I'm just aiming to do the first day, knowing that you've got over 100 miles to do – you've got to survive that, and then take each day as it comes."
He described reaching Paris on previous tours as "one of the most enjoyable experiences you can have".
"It eclipses anything I ever did on a football pitch, and I was lucky enough to be involved in some great games – it's just a magical time."
Thomas announced his decision to take part in the event at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, where he met current leukaemia patient Adam Claxton, 42, from Worcester.
Mr Claxton said his own diagnosis the previous year had been "a complete shock".
"I'm a football fan, and I remember Geoff as a player – his career was terrific, he had a great run on the pitch and to meet him off the pitch is an honour," he said.
"What he's doing is inspirational."
Dr Salim Shafeek, a consultant haematologist who previously treated Thomas at Worcestershire Royal, said he was "a real ambassador for people with leukaemia".
"It's unbelievable what he's been doing for clinical research over the last 20 years," he added.
Firefighters are tackling a blaze at a metal recycling centre on the outskirts of a village.
Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue said it was called to the fire at Railway Terrace, Kings Langley, near Hemel Hempstead, at about 03:10 BST.
The fire service is advising residents nearby to keep their windows shut.
Road closures are in place and are expected to last for some time, said Hertfordshire Police.
A pub is due to return to the former first class waiting room of a city's railway station.
The Grade II listed room at Carlisle station was recorded as hosting Queen Victoria on a number of occasions.
It is currently used as a storage room and kitchen, but had been used as a pub in recent years.
Network Rail confirmed work would start next month to refurbish the space, including creating a mezzanine level.
The waiting room, which is on platform four, was built by architect William Tite in 1880 as an extension to his original 1847 neo-Tudor station designs.
It retains the character of the time, including prominent original fireplaces.
The work is part of the Carlisle Gateway project – a £27m government-funded plan to redevelop the station into a transport hub.
Court Square will be pedestrianised and Lawson's Monument will be moved as part of the scheme.
A man has died after a fire broke out at a house in the early hours of the morning.
Firefighters and ambulance were called at 00:31 BST on Wednesday to a property just off Brunel Road in the Malinslee area of Telford.
A man believed to be in his 60s was rescued by Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service but died a short time later, West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed.
An investigation is now underway to determine the cause of the blaze.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "When ambulance staff arrived, they found fire colleagues administering CPR to the man.
"The team of ambulance staff took over advanced life support, but sadly, despite the best efforts of everyone on scene, nothing could be done to save the man, and he was confirmed deceased a short time later."
Fire crews from Telford and Tweedale attended the blaze, which was put out with hose reel jets.
A free two-day festival is set to take place in Leicester to celebrate both St George's Day and the city's Roman heritage.
A large replica Roman forum will be constructed and disassembled in Jubilee Square in the space of 48 hours during the Old Town Festival on 26 and 27 April.
Visitors will also have the chance to encounter a fire breathing dragon, learn about the archaeology of Roman Leicester and meet costumed characters including knights, jesters, wizards and centurions.
Events will take place at Leicester Cathedral, the Cathedral Gardens and Leicester Guildhall as well as Jubilee Square between 10:00 BST and 17:00 on both days.
The construction of the forum will be led by artist Olivier Grossetête, who specialises in large-scale constructions using only cardboard and sticky tape.
Participants will start by creating key elements of the structure, such as arches and balconies, before working as a team to join the pieces together.
Organisers have said St George and the Roman empire are more linked than many people might expect.
"St George was likely a Roman soldier from 3rd Century Cappadocia, now Turkey," a spokesperson said.
"His bravery inspired legends, especially the famous tale of him slaying a dragon. While the story is likely symbolic, St George is still seen as a hero of faith and courage.
"He became the patron saint of England and many other places and his red cross on a white background remains a national symbol today."
The event has been organised by Leicester City Council alongside BID Leicester, Global Streets, Arts Council England, Highcross Leicester, Haymarket Shopping Centre and Hidden Histories.
A new campaign has been launched to reduce the increasing rates of skin cancer amongst outdoor workers in Devon and Cornwall.
NHS figures for 2024/25 show there were 5,728 diagnoses of the condition across Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
Nine out of 10 of these were non-melanoma but skin cancer still causes the deaths of around 92 people in the region every year, according to the Peninsula Cancer Alliance (PCA), which works to improve cancer outcomes in the region.
It said cancer was the leading cause of death in the South West and farmers and those working in the agriculture sector were at the highest risk of developing skin cancer.
Janet Sutton, 73, farms rare breed animals at Land's End, Cornwall.
She had skin cancer removed from her forehead in December 2024.
"I stay in the shade, I don't like the heat. It was the last thing I thought I would ever get. I am a lot more careful now," Ms Sutton said.
The 73-year-old thought the scab on her forehead was an allergy. It was only when she went to see her GP about something else that the GP referred her for an appointment with dermatology.
She had the mark removed just weeks later.
"I don't hide the fact I have cancer. I find if I speak about mine, other people say, I had that. As farmers, we are very rarely in. You have to more careful."
Ms Sutton has previously had throat and breast cancer but she had been clear of cancer for five years before this recent diagnosis.
Her husband, John Sutton, 68 said: "I thought she had had enough cancers not to have anymore. I am more in the sun than she is.
"We thought the mark on her forehead was an allergy. It was getting bigger and bigger. But it was quickly sorted. They did take out a large patch of skin."
Mr Sutton said he was more careful to wear sunscreen and a hat following his wife's diagnosis.
The new campaign will focus on raising awareness among those who work outside, with a particular emphasis on agriculture, farming, and coastal regions, where exposure to UV rays is highest, its organisers said.
NHS data shows diagnoses are significantly higher in coastal areas. Among men, it was highest in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly and Dorset.
Out of the 5,728 diagnoses in the Peninsula 2024/25, 1,950 were in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly and 3,778 were in Devon (2024/25 based on the Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset (COSD).
The PCA said teams would be attending farmers markets, cattle markets and agricultural shows until the autumn.
As part of the campaign, they will hand out reusable squeeze bottles with a carabiner to encourage the use of sunscreen.
A carabiner allows outdoor workers to clip on their shorts or trousers for ease of use and able to access while working.
