Witness appeal following fatal collision in Lightwater

Officers attended the A322 Lightwater bypass between the M3 and the Gordon Boys roundabout shortly after 2.30am following reports of a collision between the driver of a car and a pedestrian.

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?
