A man has died after being struck by a car in a hit-and-run in Nottingham.

Emergency services were called to Hucknall Road in Carrington shortly before 11pm last night.

The pedestrian, a man in his 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Nottinghamshire Police said the driver failed to stop after the collision.

Three men, aged 21, 23 and 27, have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Hucknall Road has been closed in both directions.

Sergeant Mark Baker, of Nottinghamshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said:

“Our thoughts are with the man’s family and friends following this tragic incident.

“This will have no doubt been incredibly distressing news for them to receive, so we are deploying specialist trained officers to offer them support at this difficult time.

“We are in the process of exploring several lines of inquiry, so would ask anyone who has information about what happened to come forward immediately.

“As well as appealing for any witnesses to contact us, we also want to hear from any drivers who were in the area at the time and may have inadvertently recorded dash-cam footage that could assist us.”
