Nottingham: Van that rammed into three people leaving them injured had 'been bought secondhand' weeks before rampage | The Sun
THE van that rammed into three people leaving them injured in Nottingham had been bought secondhand weeks before the rampage, it can be revealed.
Two people were found dead on Ilkeston Road just after 4am and a third on Magdala Road as a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.
Another three people are in hospital after someone tried to run them over in a van in Milton Street.
The Sun can now reveal that the white Vauxhall Vivaro Van was listed on eBay at the start of May and sold just weeks ago.
It is understood those involved in selling the van are speaking with police.
Witness Lynn Haggitt told Channel 4 News she saw a van hitting two people in Nottingham.

"The woman went on the kerb, the man went up in the air," she added.

Another witness claims they heard gunshots following the tragedy.
They told GB News: "We woke up this morning at about 5:30am to what sounded like gunshots – we ran to the window and there was armed police coming out of an undercover car.
"The suspect was Tasered and dragged out by them and then arrested."
Photos of the scene show what appeared to be bullet holes in a van's windscreen.
It comes as the area around a white Vauxhall Vivaro van in Bentinck Road was cordoned-off today.
The van has been left short distance from the pavement with its passenger door open and what looks like a black bag on the road near the door.
Police were guarding the cordon by a convenience store on the corner of Bentinck Road and Marples Street.
