He said: "My thoughts are with everyone who has been affected and with their loved ones.

"Thank you to the emergency services for their response."

Shanker also repeated advice from Derbyshire Police to avoid the area and for any witnesses to come forward.

An eyewitness told the the Derby Telegraph, external they were at a bar nearby and had come outside because "someone said a load of people had been hit by a car".

They said: "Everyone was talking about it and panicking, we know people who were in other bars and thought it might have been them.

"It's so sad, everyone is so shook up. People have been crying, I just can't believe something like this has happened."

One of the newspaper's reporters Oscar Fisher went to the scene at about midnight, noting the streets had "fallen silent" at a time in the city centre when they should be "filled with students and locals enjoying the nightlife".
