A man has died on Christmas Eve after being struck by a car in Bristol.

Officers were called to Alma Road, near the junction with Whiteladies Road in the morning of 21 December after a collision between a pedestrian and a red Peugeot car.

Following the collision, the pedestrian was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he died three days later.

In a statement, the force said: "We understand there was a temporary stall set up for the selling Christmas trees opposite the scene at the time of the collision.

"We’d be keen to hear from the owner of that stall, plus any other customers when the collision occurred, to understand whether or not they witnessed what happened."

Avon and Somerset police are now appealing for any witnesses, or anyone with relevant dashcam footage to contact them online or by calling 101 and quoting reference 5224407651.
