Police have released an image of a man they are hunting after a fatal hit-and-run in east London.
Police were scrambled just after 6am on Tuesday to reports of a two-car crash on Heathway, Dagenham, at the junction with Oxlow Lane.
A 57-year-old man, who was driving a white Ford B-Max, was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.
The occupants of the other car, a white Mercedes C220, ran away on foot and have not been found.
Scotland Yard are appealing for anyone who knows the man in the images, who witnessed the collision, or has dashcam footage to get in touch with police.
Detective Sergeant Mark Palmer said; “I am appealing for anyone who can name the man pictured to give us a call. The footage shows him leaving the area immediately following the collision and we believe he can assist with our enquiries.”
He added: “We know that another car, possibly a dark coloured BMW was in the immediate vicinity of the incident when the collision happened and I appeal for the driver of that car to come forward and tell us what you saw.”
Anyone with information is urged to call 101 quoting reference CAD957 of April 30, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
