A man has been arrested after a pedestrian was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Bexley.

Detectives have appealed for witnesses to the crash, which happened shortly after 11.30pm on Friday on Vicarage Road, at its junction with Tile Kiln Lane, Bexley.

Police, London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance attended but the man, 60, was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.
