A driver thought to be involved in a fatal crash has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

At 12.55am yesterday, on the A229 Blue Bell Hill, a 23-year-old man from Buckinghamshire was killed in a car accident.

Police released an appeal asking for information and dashcam footage.

Officers specifically wanted to hear about the driver of a red BMW which was reported to be involved.

Today, police arrested the male driver on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of a collision.

He has since been released pending further investigation.

Officers from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit are continuing to appeal for any witnesses who may have important information to come forward.

They are particularly keen to hear from anyone with dashcam footage of the collision itself, or of the vehicles involved.
