A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a car crashed into a pub in Essex.

Officers were called to The Spinnaker pub in Colchester at 12.50am on Sunday.

A 36-year-old man died at the scene while three other people were taken to hospital.

One of them, a 34-year-old man, suffered life-changing injuries, Essex Police said.

The other two, a 34-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man, sustained minor injuries.

A 40-year-old suspect was arrested on suspicion of murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, death by dangerous driving and assault.

Essex Police said in a statement: ​"We would like to speak to any who saw a white Nissan Qashqai in the local area before the incident took place, and anyone who was in the pub at the time and has yet to speak to officers."
