The final moments of four friends who died when their BMW skidded out of control and crashed into a tree in Bradford have been caught on CCTV.
The footage, which has been edited because of its distressing nature, shows the driver of the grey BMW slam on the brakes before it smashes into a tree on the side of the road.
The young men were being followed by a unmarked police car at 5.30am on Thursday when the tragedy happened.
In the unedited clip, the police vehicle appears in frame approximately ten seconds after the crash.
They have been named locally as Zeeshan Khalid, Arbaz Hussain, 21, Tayyub and Muthaza Choudhury, 22.
Others are calling them by their nicknames Murti, Tee, Ziggy and Barzy as they pay tribute online.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has released a statement to confirm an investigation into a police pursuit is being carried out.
