The police watchdog has visited the scene of a fatal crash which involved a 'stolen' 4x4 that was being pursued by officers.
A Land Rover Defender and a Nissan Juke crashed on the A143 near the Old Harleston Road junction close to Earsham, near Bungay, at about 4.30pm on Sunday (August 13).
A woman who was travelling in the Nissan Juke was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two men inside the Land Rover, in their 20s and 40s, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The incident has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) by Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies.

A spokesman from the IOPC said: “We can confirm we have decided to independently investigate police actions prior to a fatal road traffic collision in Norfolk on Sunday afternoon.
"After being notified by Norfolk Constabulary, we sent investigators to the scene and to the police post-incident procedure to begin our enquiries.”
The Land Rover left tyre trails across a maize field which is part of Earsham Park Farm as it tried to evade officers.
Jim Aldous, the assistant farm manager, told ITV Anglia: "There were cars driving round like headless chickens.
"Someone was just driving round the road minding their own business and an accident happens."
Both men inside the Land Rover have received treatment for injuries they suffered in the crash in hospital.
At the time of the collision police officers investigating the suspected theft of a vehicle from Suffolk had been pursuing the Land Rover.
