GoogleA man and woman have been arrested after the discovery of a woman's body.
Staffordshire Police said officers were called to Bridge Street, Stretton, Burton-upon-Trent, at 00:50 BST on Saturday after reports of a crash.
A vehicle was found abandoned and a 22-year-old woman held on suspicion of drinking and driving.
Later, at 07:25, police were called to nearby Bitham Lane after the body of a woman - thought to have been a passenger in the car - was found.
The woman held on suspicion of drink-driving was further arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving following the single-vehicle crash.
Police said a 19-year-old man, from east Staffordshire, was also detained on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and drink-driving.
Both have been released on conditional bail.
