Eye witnesses have told me that the fatal crash in Luton that happened about 22:20 last night has left them "shaken" and feeling "terrible."

Samuel Rikipe (pictured) says the "impact was so high, it made the building cave in".

He said he saw a car going "very fast" and then heard something like a boom. 

Derek Smith lives just metres away from the crash site was watching television at the time.  

He said he was "grateful" he wasn't any closer and has been left "shaken", especially when he saw how serious it was.

I've been talking to builders in the area of High Town in Luton after a teenage girl was killed when the car she was in crashed into a TV rental store in the town. 

They say the car is currently "holding up the building" and it "could come down at any moment."

It means roads in the area could be closed for sometime until the building is made safe.

Following the crash a man was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries.

Officers are "particularly keen" to speak to a third person believed to have been in the car at the time.

Transport Secretary Chris Grayling says the new franchise deal will mean the years of East Anglia's rail passengers being "under-loved" are over.

Referring to new carriages being planned under the deal, which covers a region stretching from Hertfordshire in the west to Suffolk in the east, said: "They will be state-of-the-art, there will be a big improvement in terms of capacity, there'll be more seats for passengers, so this should transform the passenger experience.

"There's no doubt the East Anglian region has been under-loved in rail terms for a long time and those people who use the service will say they haven't had new trains.

"Now they're going to get them and they're going to get them right across the network, and every single carriage is going to be replaced and I think it will transform the experience of people who travel on the trains in East Anglia."

More photos have been released of the scene of the fatal crash in Luton last night.

The managing director of Abellio Greater Anglia says it has felt passenger "frustration" over the service as it bid for the new franchise, which runs until 2025.

Dominic Booth, managing director for Abellio in the UK, said: "We're absolutely over the moon to win the new nine-year contract for East Anglia. We've been operating the existing franchise there for the last four years, and having to do so with pretty old kit and equipment, pretty old trains. 

"We've suffered some frustration; we've felt the frustration of the passengers in East Anglia, and that's really fuelled us to hatch our plans - our very exciting plans - for this franchise."

This morning I've been in High Town in Luton talking to people after a teenage girl lost her life last night when the car she was in crashed into a shop front. 

Kye was walking home from work last night and told me what he saw. 

The police watchdog the IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission) has confirmed it's started an investigation, external into a car crash in Luton last night in which a teenage girl died.

The IPCC was notified, by Bedfordshire Police, that the vehicle had failed to stop for officers shortly before the incident. 

Investigators were sent to the area and have begun to gather information. 

With seven Premier League managers in charge of new clubs, what do their previous records tell us about the impact they will have?

Abellio, external has won the franchise, external to continue delivering rail services in the Eastern region for the next nine years.

It has promised to deliver a £1.4bn boost to rail services, and more than 1,000 new carriages. 

This is a long franchise, and it contains some strict requirements on the operator to dramatically improve journey times and the passenger experience, as a result of a four-year campaign by local MPs and the business community. 

It promises to deliver one of the biggest orders for British-built trains - almost £1bn for 660 carriages from the Bombardier factory in Derby - as part of a contract that will secure 1,000 jobs into the next decade.

The group must also stick to tough new targets for operational performance levels.
