Vulcan Street and Porter Street following the incident. The cordon has now been lifted. Photos taken from the scene show a significant emergency services response including fire engines,

paramedics and police. An air ambulance later landed in nearby Costco car park to provide medical support. It departed at around 7.50pm. Following the incident, a witness at the scene told

the ECHO on Wednesday night how she was walking to her car when she heard "a bang and then scraping". Detective sergeant Kurt Timpson, the lead investigating officer from

evening. His family has been informed and are being supported by our specially trained family liaison officers. “We have launched an investigation into the man’s death, and it’s now a

priority for us to get answers on how the collision occurred, and my team is working to establish key facts. “Although a man has been arrested in connection with this incident, I would

urgently appeal to anyone who witnessed it to please contact us. Any information no matter how small could be vital to our investigation, so please get in touch. "I would also ask

motorists to please check your dashcam footage to urgently review it if you were driving in the area last night. These devices can often capture key evidence in the moments leading up to the

collision without the driver of the vehicle being aware. Any help we receive, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could assist our investigation.” Anyone with information is asked to
