Pedestrian dies after crash with car

Police have said they want to speak to a "key witness" after a pedestrian died when they were struck by a car.

Avon and Somerset Police said officers were called to the incident on the A303 eastbound between South Petherton and Cartgate Services in Somerset at about 21:40 GMT on Sunday.

Officers said the incident involved the pedestrian, who died at the scene, and a Seat Leon just before the A356 junction for Crewkerne.

The force is keen to speak to a witness who was driving a van which came off at the Crewkerne junction around the time of the collision.

The driver and two passengers of the Seat Leon were taken to hospital with minor injuries and are helping police with their enquiries.
