Police have released CCTV footage following the death of a 33-year-old man in a hit-and-run collision in south London yesterday.

Scotland Yard said the video showed a silver car driving along Tooting Bec Road shortly after the fatal early morning incident.

Detectives appealed for the vehicle's driver to come forward. The red car featured is unrelated to the collision, police said.

Shortly after 3am on Saturday, police were called to reports of a car having failed to stop after colliding with a pedestrian on Tooting Bec Road, near the junction with Dr Johnson Avenue.

Emergency services attended but the 33-year-old pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detective Sergeant Phil Hames, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit at Merton, said: "I need to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision or has information - including reports of a car which sustained unexplained frontal damage overnight - that may help identify the driver or the vehicle involved."

Police said they would also like to speak to the driver of a Hackney Carriage who was seen by witnesses near the scene at the time of the collision.

The witness line for the Serious Collision Investigation Unit at Merton is 020 8543 5157. To remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
