A man has been arrested on suspicion of drug-driving after a fatal crash in Milton Keynes on Monday evening.

At 7.45pm officers were called to Secklow Gate outside Xscape following a crash involving a pedestrian, a Seat Ibiza, a white Hyundai Tucson and a black Citroen C1.

The pedestrian, a man in his forties, died after being taken to Milton Keynes University Hospital.

The victim’s next of kin have been informed and specially trained officers are supporting them.

Everyone else involved was uninjured.

The Seat driver, a 26-year-old man from Milton Keynes, was arrested on suspicion of drug-driving and causing death by careless driving. He has been released on police bail until 16 April.

Investigating officer PC Mellissa Wells, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Sadly, a man has died in this collision and our thoughts are with his loved ones.

“I would like to hear from anybody who was driving near Xscape on Monday night and saw anything that may assist our investigation.

“I would also ask anyone with a dash-camera to check their footage and let us know if it has captured the collision or the vehicles involved."
