A man was killed in a single-vehicle crash after a ‘car left the carriageway’.
Emergency services were called to the fatal road traffic collision in Pennyquick, Bath, at approximately 2.20am this morning (Sunday).
The incident involved a purple Citroen, with the driver – a man aged in his 40s – pronounced dead at the scene.
Nobody else was within the vehicle, which is believed to have left the carriageway.
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: “His next of kin has been informed and our sympathies are with them at this hugely distressing time.
“A specially-trained family liaison officer will provide them with support.
“Road closures were put in place to enable emergency services to respond, but these have now been lifted.
“Motorists who were driving in the area and may have relevant dashcam footage, or witnesses who have not yet spoken to officers, are asked to contact us online or call 101 and give reference number 5224224148.”
