We are appealing for witnesses and footage after a man very sadly died following a collision in Coppull this morning.
Our officers were called around 5.30am today to Preston Road, Coppull, to a report of a collision.
The emergency services attended and found that a Tesla car had been in collision with a pedestrian in the carriageway.
The pedestrian, a man aged in his 50s, suffered serious injuries and very sadly was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Our thoughts are very much with his family at this distressing time, and they are being supported by specially trained officers.
A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and is currently in custody.
The road remains closed while investigation work is carried out.
Anyone who witnessed the collision or has dashcam/CCTV/doorbell footage from the area, we ask you to contact police.
