The three men were injured as a result of the collision and were taken to hospital, but have been arrested this afternoon following medical attention.

One lane of the southbound carriageway was closed at Buckden for much of the day while Highways England repaired the crash barrier, but the road is now clear and the delays have subsided.

A police spokesman said the offences took place in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire and the BMW was stolen from London.
