A court in Kecskemét, in central Hungary, has ordered the arrest of a Pakistani national who crashed his car while fleeing police early on Thursday, killing two people.

The 20-year-old man was transporting seven illegal migrants, who said they were Afghans, when police tried to stop the car for a routine inspection. He fled and crashed into a nearby ditch.

Two people died and the other five were injured in the accident.
