Two men have died and a 13-year-old boy has been left seriously injured following a car crash in Portsmouth.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision between a black Peugeot 207 and a grey Renault Megane on James Callaghan Drive at about 7.10pm on Monday.

The drivers of the car - a 48-year-old man from Gosport and a 44-year-old from Fareham - both died at the scene.
