Police were called to Church Street around 2.15pm following reports that an altercation had taken place between a group of men. One of the men then got into his car, a white 1 series BMW, and is reported to have driven at two of the other men in the group.

Despite the best efforts of paramedics, a man in his 40s was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. His family have been informed. A second man has been airlifted to hospital but is expected to recover.”

Detective Chief Inspector Dave Springett said “We understand that a serious incident like this has caused a lot of concern in the local community and we would like to reassure residents that we are doing everything we can to establish what has happened.

Tragically, this has resulted in the death of one man and left another seriously injured and our thoughts are with their family and friends at this extremely difficult time.” The investigation is ongoing.
