A 27-year-old policewoman has died in a road crash involving a suspected stolen car.
The officer was travelling in a police car on routine patrol at the time of the smash in Londonderry.
Two other officers in the patrol car were hurt in the crash, which happened at around 3.40am on Saturday morning, but their injuries are not life-threatening.
Police are hunting for two males who fled the scene on the Limavady Road in the direction of the Ebrington area of the city.
The Limavady Road remained closed at its junction with Glendermott Road and Clooney Terrace while investigations are carried out.
Ulster Unionist member of the Northern Ireland Policing Board Ross Hussey said he was "shocked and saddened" by the officer's death.
"I would like to pass on my heartfelt sympathies to the family, friends and colleagues of this officer," he said.
"We can only imagine the pain that they must be feeling. I hope that her injured colleagues make a speedy recovery.
"This young woman's death in the line of duty serves to re-emphasise the dangers faced by the officers of the Police Service of Northern Ireland on a daily basis, as they put themselves in harm's way to protect the whole community. They deserve our full support."
The Northern Ireland Police Ombudsman's office has been informed.
Police are appealing for witnesses.
