POLICE are appealing for witnesses following a fatal incident in Coventry yesterday between a car and a pedestrian.
The pedestrian, an elderly man, was taken to hospital but died following the crash which happened on the Sewall Highway at the junction of Sullivan Road at around 1.30pm yesterday (April 28).
The man’s family have been informed.
The driver of the car, a 41-year-old man was spoken to at the scene by officers and is assisting the enquiry.

“They will now be supported by specially trained Family Liaison Officers.
“Sewall Highway is a busy area and we have already spoken to witnesses.
“However, I would still urge anyone who may have witnessed what happened to get in touch.
