Two men have been arrested after a pedestrian in his 80s died following a collision with a car that saw him carried along the road.
Kent Police said the man was initially struck by a grey Mercedes estate on the A289 Gads Hill in Gillingham, Kent, just after midnight on Monday.
The man was found on Grange Lane in the town.
Detectives investigating the crash released CCTV images which showed two hooded men dressed in dark clothing on a pavement on foot, with one appearing to be running while carrying a number plate.
South East Coast Ambulance paramedics treated the male pedestrian at the scene, but he later died, the force said.
