Police are "extremely concerned" for the health of the parents of a two-year-old boy who died in a car crash in Devon.
The child's family, on holiday from Ireland, were driving along Hamelin Way in Torquay when the head-on crash happened at about 14:45 BST on Friday.
The driver of the car, believed to be a Polish national from Torquay, was arrested at the scene but later died.
The police watchdog has been informed because an officer saw the crash.
Devon and Cornwall Assistant Chief Constable Paul Netherton said the Independent Police Complaints Commission referral was made "as a matter of course" as the police officer witnessed the collision.
He said the officer's police car had not been in pursuit of the vehicles.
All four people in the cars were taken by air and land ambulances to Torbay Hospital in Torquay and Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.
The parents of the boy remain in a critical condition.
Police are attempting to to contact the family's next of kin.
