Detectives have renewed an appeal for witnesses and dashcam footage after a woman died following a collision involving a lorry on the A20 in Dover. Kent Police were called to Limekiln Street at 3.42am on Thursday 9 July following reports of a collision between a pedestrian and a lorry on the A20 between Union Street and York Street. The pedestrian, a woman in her 40s, was airlifted to a London hospital with serious injuries but later died. Her next of kin have been informed and continue to be supported by specialist officers. A 41-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. He has since been released while enquiries continue. The investigation is being led by officers from Kent Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, who are continuing to piece together the circumstances leading up to the fatal collision.

He is described as wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and dark-coloured shorts. Investigators are urging him to come forward as they believe he may have information that could assist the investigation.
