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.
