The 64-year-old man, who has been formally identified as Allen Ingram, received emergency treatment at the scene but sadly died as a result of his injuries.

A 37-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man were arrested but have since been released with no further action.
The driver of the Vauxhall Mokka fled from the scene and remains outstanding.
Chief Superintendent Neil Evans, said: “This is an absolutely devastating day for all involved, this completely innocent man has lost his life after getting caught up in this incident.
“The man’s family have now been made aware, my heart breaks at the thought of what they must be going through.
“We have a large operation in place to find the other man. If he is reading this, then I would say – do the right thing and hand yourself in. Show the family of this man some respect and face what you have done.
