Cops have sealed off multiple roads in a city after reports that a man had driven into two pedestrians and a cyclist before smashing into a house.

West Midlands Police have arrested a man after three people were left seriously injured in Coventry on Sunday morning.

Emergency services were called to Gosford Street in at 8am over reports that two pedestrians had been hit by a car.

A second report then emerged of a cyclist being struck by a car on Woodway Lane just moments later.

Police believe the car was involved in several serious collisions before the driver smashed the vehicle into a house on Beckbury Road.

All three roads have been sealed off to the public for West Midlands Police to investigate.

A suspect was arrested at 9am on Beckbury Road after cops launched a drones team and dog unit.

West Midlands Police said: "We've arrested a man after we were called to reports of several collisions in Coventry this morning.
