Kent Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit is appealing for witnesses after a fatal incident near Ashford.
Officers were called on the evening of Tuesday 15 December 2020 to a report a man in his 50s had suffered injuries in an earlier collision.
It is believed the man was a passenger in an articulated lorry and had got out to assist while the vehicle manoeuvred near a railway bridge in Cheeseman’s Green Lane, Sevington between 7pm and 8.30pm that evening.
Officers believe the lorry collided with the man before the driver and the man continued their journey. The extent of the man’s injuries then became apparent and emergency services were called. The man later died from his injuries.
