Three people have been found dead in Nottingham in the UK, with three others hospitalized after being hit by a van in two incidents that the police say are being treated as linked.

The three individuals hit by the van were all injured, and a 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, according to local police. Two people were found dead in one street and a third in a different street, separate from the van incident, the local chief constable said.

The update came after police said emergency services were responding to an "ongoing serious incident" in the central English city.
