An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of two teenagers after a police pursuit has found there was no misconduct in the way Essex Police officers acted.

It's taken a calendar year, to tell you what anyone else could have told you about 24 hours after the event.

However, the watchdog has upheld a complaint about the information that was shared by the force.

In the wake of the tragedy, a press release shared by Essex Police incorrectly stated the teens in the car were in possession of class A drugs which led to a number of misleading comments from the public on social media.

The IPCC spokesman added: "A complaint from the families of Reigan and Liam was also investigated, relating to information which was issued by Essex Police to media shortly after the collision.

"A press release incorrectly stated that the passengers of the Ford were in possession of Class A drugs, which was corrected once the error was realised.

"The complaint was upheld, however the investigation was not able to identify how the incorrect information ended up being included the press release."
