A woman who was arrested following a suspected hit-and-run which left a man dead, has now been bailed by police.

Kent Police was called at 9.40pm on Thursday night following a report that a man had suffered serious injuries in Crabble Hill, Dover.

Officers attended along with South East Coast Ambulance Service and a 59-year-old man from south-east London was pronounced dead at the scene.
