As our inquiry progresses, we are urging anyone who witnessed the collision, has footage or can assist us in finding the fleeing vehicle to come forward.

Last night (Friday 19 September) at 7.41pm, roads policing officers responded to Harborough Hill Road following reports of a collision involving a pedestrian and a blue Audi A3.

Our early enquiries lead us to believe that the driver of the blue Audi A3 collided with the 40-year-old pedestrian as he crossed the road.

Despite the best efforts of everyone at the scene, the pedestrian sadly died at the scene.

His family has been informed and is being supported by family liaison officers, and our thoughts remain with them at this difficult time.

The driver of the Audi A3, a 17-year-old boy fled the scene, but officers later arrested him on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Officers are continuing to search for the vehicle involved in the collision and believe it to be being hidden somewhere.

We are asking anyone who sees a blue Audi A3 with damage consistent to being involved in a collision to contact us immediately.

We are urging anyone who witnessed the collision and has not yet spoken to officers to come forward and speak to us.

If you have footage of the collision or the vehicle prior to, or fleeing the scene, please share it with us here.
