Pedestrian dies three days after collision with car

A man has died after being hit by a car at the weekend.

Police said they were called to the incident on Alma Road in Clifton, Bristol, at about 11:35 GMT on Saturday.

The pedestrian, who collided with a red Peugeot car, was taken to hospital with serious injuries and died three days later, said a police spokesperson.

"The man's next-of-kin are being supported by a specially-trained family liaison officer. Our sympathies go out to his family," said police.

The incident took place near the junction with Whiteladies Road and officers are hoping to speak to anyone who witnessed it.

"We understand there was a temporary stall set up for the selling Christmas trees opposite the scene at the time of the collision," said the police spokesperson.

"We'd be keen to hear from the owner of that stall, plus any other customers when the collision occurred, to understand whether or not they witnessed what happened."

Anyone who is able to assist the investigation can contact Avon and Somerset Police on 101.
