A man has died after becoming trapped under his car in Hemel Hempstead - and a 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.
Emergency services were called to Thumpers at around 8pm on Wednesday - and say the man died at the scene.
Police say his family are being supported by specially trained officers.
Detective Sergeant John Prendergast, who is leading the investigation, said: “This was a tragic incident, and our thoughts are with the victim’s family at this difficult time. We politely request that their privacy is respected.
“We have already conducted extensive enquiries, but would now like to appeal to anyone who may have information that has not yet been in contact with us to please get in touch. I would particularly like to hear from anyone who may have seen a man on a bicycle in the area around the time specified.
“Any information, even something that may seem relatively minor or insignificant, could be key to progressing our investigation.”
The man arrested remains in police custody.
