A woman killed in a crash in Derbyshire has been named by police.
Tracey Meek was driving a Vauxhall Corsa when it was involved in a collision with a Land Rover Freelander on the B5023 between Idridgehay and Wirksworth shortly before 09:45 GMT on Tuesday.
Derbyshire Police said the 44-year-old died at the scene.
The Land Rover driver, a woman in her 40s, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remains in police custody.
A man who was also in the Corsa suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital where he remains.
Ms Meek's family said in a statement released by police: "We are absolutely devastated at the news of Tracey's death.
