A pedestrian has died following a collision near Wigston on Friday (17 January).
The man, who is 22, was taken to hospital following the incident, which happened just before 6.30am, but died yesterday (Monday 20 January) as a result of his injuries.
When officers attended the scene – between Kilby and the River Sence – a 53-year-old man was arrested. He was later released under investigation.
Detective Constable Paul Hicks, from the force’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: “Officers are providing support the man's family at this difficult time.
“Our investigation to establish the circumstances of what happened is continuing and I’d appeal for anyone who can help, but who has not yet spoken to us, to come forward.
“Any information or footage you’re able to provide could assist our enquiries.”
