The 42-year-old pedestrian from the Bungay area was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital with multiple injuries following the collision in Bridge Street around 1.40am on Friday but died on Saturday evening in hospital.

Police have now released an image of a Nissan Qashqai that it believed to be very similar to the vehicle involved. The driver did not stop at the scene and police are making extensive enquiries to trace both the car and the person driving it.

Inspector David Giles, of the Serious Collision Investigation Team, said; 'I am in no doubt that the driver will have known what happened at the scene but may not have realised the seriousness of the pedestrian's injuries at the time. It is in their interests to come forward as soon as possible.'

Police would like to speak to anyone who may have seen the vehicle in the area in the early hours, anyone who may have seen the collision itself or anyone who may have details about the Qashqai or its driver.

Officers are also keen to speak to anyone with details about a Qashqai that may have sustained front-end damage since the early hours of Friday or anyone who has information about who may have been out in such a vehicle in Bungay around 1am-2am that morning.
