A 75-year-old man has died two weeks after being seriously injured in a road traffic collision on the A508 Harborough Road North in Northampton.

The pedestrian, who was from Northampton, sadly died at the University Hospital Coventry following the incident which happened at about 10.55pm on Friday April 26th.

The man, who has not been formally named by Northamptonshire Police, was in a collision with the driver of a white Volkswagen Golf as he was crossing the A508, opposite the Whitehills Pub.

The investigation continues and officers would still like to hear from anyone with information who has yet to come forward, including anyone who may have dash-cam footage of the incident.

The driver of the car – a 19-year-old man from Leicestershire – was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. He remains on police bail pending further enquiries.
