Detectives are looking for witnesses after a man in his 20s died in a collision with a car in Walworth.
At 4.35 a.m. on Saturday, police responded to complaints of a car colliding with a person on Kennington Park Road, near the junction of Penton Place, SE17.
The London Ambulance Service responded, and the 24-year-old male was tragically pronounced dead at the site.
The man’s next of kin has been contacted, but police are still awaiting final identification and a post-mortem examination.
The car came to a stop at the site, and the driver, a 24-year-old man, was detained on suspicion of causing death by negligent driving while under the influence of drugs.
He was eventually released under inquiry.
DC Clay O’Neill stated, “We would still like to speak with witnesses who have not yet come forward.”
“If you have any piece of information however small, please do contact us.”
Anyone who observed the collision who has yet to come forward is asked to contact the dedicated RTPC Witness Line at 0208 285 1574, Tweet @MetCC or phone the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously at 0800 555 111.
