Appeal for witnesses after fatal collision involving pedestrian and car – A38 Brent Knoll

The A38 northbound near junction 22 of the M5 at Brent Knoll is closed following a fatal collision overnight.

We were called at 5am Tuesday 17 September to a collision involving a pedestrian and a car.

Sadly the male pedestrian died at the scene. While formal identification is yet to take place, we’ve informed his next of kin.

The A38 is closed in both directions. Traffic is being diverted. We expect collision investigators will be examining the scene until at least midday. Please follow @HighwaysSWest for travel updates.
