Two men have died in a car crash during a police pursuit in Haringey, London.
The men died early this morning after the Audi car they were in collided with a bridge on Seven Sisters Road near to the junction with St Ann's Road.The 30-year-old driver of the Audi tried to make off from the scene on foot, police said.
But he was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and driving whilst disqualified, and of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply.
Police say that officers on routine patrol at around 2am became suspicious of a car that appeared to make off at speed when passed in the opposite direction.
After several minutes searching for the Audi, the officers saw it several hundred metres away and tried to catch up, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.
"The Audi was driven through a red light and a short time later it clipped a white van and subsequently collided with a bridge," the spokesman said.
Two male passengers in the Audi, aged 33 and 38, were seriously injured.
Officers gave CPR prior to the arrival of ambulances, but both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Enquiries continue to establish the identity of the two men.
Traffic officers are investigating. Officers from the Directorate of Professional Standards have been informed.
Local road closures are in place.
