One dead after Belgian police open fire on British-registered car containing 'Iraqi people smugglers'

One person has died and seven people have been injured following a high-speed chase between police and a British-registered car in France and Belgium that ended in mass crash.

The incident began when a lorry driver found immigrants inside his parked vehicle.

After police arrived, four suspected Iraqi people smugglers sped off in a British-registered Audi. They were chased down by Belgian police, who then shot at their speeding car on the other side of the French border near Dunkirk.
