Witness appeal following fatal collision in Crowborough

Police are appealing for information following a fatal collision in Crowborough.

On Friday, 17 October, at around 10.15pm, emergency services were called to Eridge Road to a report that a pedestrian had been hit by a car.

The pedestrian, a 47-year-old local man, was treated by paramedics but sadly died at the scene, and an investigation is underway to establish the circumstances. His next of kin have been informed.

The driver of a grey MG4, a 35-year-old man from Tunbridge Wells, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless or dangerous driving. He has since been released on bail while police enquiries continue.  

Following an earlier road closure from Boars Head Road to Eridge Road, the road has since reopened.

We are asking anyone who witnessed the collision, or who has dashcam footage that could assist police enquiries, to make a report.

Reports can be made by emailing collision.appeal@sussex.police.uk or by calling 101 quoting Operation Camberwell.
