A woman who assisted a 90-year-old man involved in a fatal crash in Hampshire is being sought by police.

Officers have issued CCTV of someone they want to trace in connection with the collision at the junction of London Road and Longwood Avenue in Cowplain at around 11am on May 29th.

Burt Cleverly suffered serious injuries after being struck by a black Ford Mondeo car and was taken to hospital, where he passed away two days later.

A woman can be seen on CCTV on London Road as the collision happens.

It shows her crossing the road to Mr Cleverely, and her remaining at the scene until members of staff from a nearby doctor surgery attend to take over.

Police are appealing to speak to her as she may have vital information about the collision.

Officers are continuing to investigate this incident and said the driver of the Mondeo is helping with them with their enquiries.

Those with any information or relevant dash cam footage of the crash, who have not already spoken to police, are asked to call 101 quoting reference 44240224936.
