"There were four men in the vehicle, three were taken to the Leicester Royal Infirmary with minor injuries and the front seat passenger sustained serious injuries.

"He was taken to University Hospitals of Coventry and Warwickshire where he sadly passed away during the night.

"Officers are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the collision or saw the vehicle being driven beforehand.
