Update: Two arrested in connection with fatal road traffic collision in Southampton

Two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving following a fatal road traffic collision in Southampton. The suspects, aged 17 and 19, were released on police bail to return on 5 June.

The incident occurred just before 1am on 5 March, when police were called to a collision on Middle Road, Sholing. A black Vauxhall Corsa had reportedly collided with several parked cars.
