Surrey Police referred to conduct watchdog after woman's death
The woman in her 50's was killed on the Lightwater Bypass early on Friday morning
Surrey Police says it has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct after the death of a woman in a collision.
The victim in her 50's was killed on the A322 Lightwater Bypass, between the M3 and Gordon Boys roundabout after being struck by a car at around 2.30am on Friday 2 August.
The force says the referral is mandatory as it had previously received a report about the woman in the hours before the collision.
A spokesperson for Surrey Police said: "South East Coast Ambulance Service attended but sadly the pedestrian, a woman in her 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
"The driver of the car stopped at the scene and has been assisting police with our enquiries.
"Road closures were in place overnight while the initial stages of our investigation were carried out. These have now been lifted.
"We are now trying to trace the movements of the pedestrian prior to the collision. Were you travelling along the A322 last night between midnight and 3am? Did you see a person walking along the side of the southbound carriageway?
"If you saw any part of this incident, have CCTV, dash cam or helmet cam footage that might have captured it, or you have any information that might help, please get in touch quoting PR/45240087576."
