Dear Roy,
Can you help? We’re appealing for witnesses after a man has died following a fail to stop collision in Peterborough last night.
The man in his 30s was walking along a footpath in Paston Ridings at just after 8.30pm yesterday (20 October) when he fell into the road.
A car, believed to be a Renault Megane, then turned right out of Hallfields Lane, onto Paston Ridings, before colliding with the man. The driver failed to stop at the scene.
Officers and paramedics attended and the pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.
DI Garry Webb, from the Beds, Cambs and Herts (BCH) Road Policing Unit, said: “This is an incredibly sad incident where a man in his 30s has lost his life and we are doing all we can to investigate, but we need the public’s help.
“We are appealing for witnesses, dash cam footage and anyone who was in the area at the time and saw a dark Renault Megane to get in touch.”
Anyone who has any information is urged to contact us via our web chat service, quoting incident 428 of 20 September, or call us on 101 if you do not have internet access. Always dial 999 in an emergency.
