Appeal for witnesses following fatal collision in Portsmouth

We are appealing for witnesses and dash cam footage following a fatal road traffic collision in Portsmouth.

Police were called just before 8.30am on Tuesday 11 February following reports of a collision involving a pedestrian and a lorry being driven on the roundabout junction of Gunstore Road and Norway Road.

Sadly the pedestrian, a woman aged in her 20s and from Guildford, Surrey, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the lorry, a 45-year-old man from Romford, Havering, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by driving without due care or consideration while unfit through drugs. He has been released under investigation while further enquiries are carried out.

If you witnessed this collision, or have any relevant dash cam or CCTV footage that may assist our investigation, please contact us.

In particular we would like to speak to the driver of a light blue Kia Soul with a white roof that stopped just in front of the lorry immediately after the collision occurred, as the driver may be a key witness.

You can call 101, quoting reference 44250063456, or make a report online via our website at https://www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/
