A Ford Transit van was allegedly driven into two men aged 20 and 37 in Everingtons Lane, Skegness, on Wednesday 10 November.

James Britton, 37, from Skegness, died in hospital on Thursday.

A 33-year-old man previously arrested on suspicion of attempted murder had since been detained under the Mental Health Act, Lincolnshire Police said.

The van involved in the incident was driven away from the scene, but was later stopped on the A52 after being pursued by officers.

The 20-year-old man involved in the crash suffered serious injuries, but they were not thought to be life-threatening, officers said

Anyone who saw what happened is asked to contact police.

This morning, it will continue largely cloudy, mild, breezy and dry.

Here's a recap of what's been said:

• The £96bn plan is an "ambitious and unparalleled programme" to overhaul inter-city links across the north and Midlands, Shapps said
• The planned eastern line to Leeds has been scrapped, with a new route from Warrington to Manchester ending at the "western border" of Yorkshire
• The government will "study how best to take HS2 trains into Leeds", he says
• The new proposals will bring down journey times in the North and Midlands "much sooner than under previous plans", he adds
• He also said the government would look at a mass transport system for West Yorkshire
• And he announced investment in contactless ticketing as well as funding to electrify track in the North and Midlands
• Labour's shadow transport secretary Jim McMahon described the plan as a "betrayal" and a "great train robbery" saying it was a massive blow to the regions
