Cleveland Police says 12 people have been arrested after a crash in Middlesbrough killed seven people, including two police officers. The suspects—nine men and three women aged 19 to 61—were detained across Teesside over alleged offences including involvement in an organised crime group. The officers’ marked car was hit by a Volkswagen Passat at about 03:30 BST on Saturday; all five occupants of the other vehicle also died.
