The incident took place at around 5.40pm on Saturday 9 November 2019 and involved a red Peugeot 207 and a pedestrian – a man in his 50s who died at the scene.

As part of their enquiries, Kent Police officers would like to obtain dash camera footage of the Peugeot being driven in the area at the time.

Detective Inspector Lynn Lewis, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: ‘We are following numerous, ongoing lines of enquiry but remain very keen to obtain footage that shows the vehicle involved being driven.

‘It is possible motorists travelling in the area on Saturday evening will have captured the Peugeot and their footage, no matter how insignificant it may appear, could be a crucial piece of evidence that can help us establish the full circumstances.’

As part of their enquiries, officers found the Peugeot abandoned near allotments in Astley Avenue on the evening of the collision.

A 31-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, both from Dover, were also arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving following the incident. Both have been bailed, pending further enquiries, until 5 December 2019.

Anyone with information is asked Kent Police’s Serious Collison Investigation Unit on 01622 798538 quoting reference DB/RF/118/19. Alternatively email sciu.td@kent.police.uk
