A father has been killed during a family school run after the car he was driving veered into a river - moments before the same thing happened to his wife.
The 42-year-old was driving his 11-year-old daughter to school near the Monsail Trail, north of the A6, when the Toyota Aygo entered the River Wye.
His wife was driving their nine-year-old son in another car behind him which also ended up in the water.
Derbyshire Police said the two children and their 39-year-old mother managed to escape unhurt from the cars but the father could not be saved, despite attempts from local residents, and died a short time later.
Paul Hawker, station manager at Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service, was one of the first on the scene and said the wintry weather in the area was a contributing factor in the accident, a fire service spokeswoman said.
