One of two girls involved in a road accident in Derbyshire has died of her injuries.
The two girls, aged 11 and 13, were involved in a crash in Chesterfield Road, Duckmanton, on Thursday evening.

Officers appealed for information but said the driver and several witnesses stopped at the scene.
A number of messages of condolence have appeared on social media along with calls for greater safety measures on the road.

"Needs something doing about the speed on this road."
