Pedestrian killed near primary school

A man in his 50s has been killed after being hit by a vehicle close to Shobdon Primary school in Leominster this morning (Friday October 25).

A 23 year old man from Hereford has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

The B4362 in both directions remains closed as a police investigation continues.

However, the primary school is open and the headteacher has asked parents to take their children in through the Pembridge side.
