A 20-year-old woman has died after she was hit by a taxi in the street in the early hours of the morning.

The collision involving a silver Skoda Octavia taxi and the pedestrian happened in Lake Road, Portsmouth, Hampshire, at 12.30am on Saturday.

The woman, who has yet to be identified, was pronounced dead at the scene after suffering fatal injuries, police said.

A 37-year-old man from Portsmouth has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by driving without due care and attention.

A Hampshire police spokeswoman said he had been released from custody but remained under investigation.

They are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

The spokeswoman said: "A collision occurred between a pedestrian and a silver Skoda Octavia taxi on Lake Road.

"The pedestrian, a 20-year-old woman from Fareham, suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

"Her next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers. Formal identification procedures are ongoing at this time."

Inspector Darren Ord said: "I am appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or saw the pedestrian or the vehicle prior to the collision to come forward and speak to us."

As professional drivers are we not supposed to drive in a way that allows for unexpected drunk pedestrian hazards

One of the main reasons I got a dashcam. If some drunk decides to jump\step\walk\fall into the road in front of me I'm not going down for it.
