A man has died following a collision in Basildon.
Our officers were called at 9.40pm yesterday, Tuesday 15 February, to reports of a single vehicle collision in Cranes Farm Road involving a black BMW.
Our colleagues from the ambulance services attended, but sadly a man in his 20s died.
His next of kin have been made aware.
The road was closed throughout the night whilst we carried out investigation work and reopened at 7.30am today, Wednesday 16 February.
A 21-year-old man and two 18-year-old men were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and driving whilst unfit through drink/drugs.
They have since been told they face no further action and are helping us with our enquiries.
We need anyone who witnessed the collision but did not speak with officers at the scene to contact us.
We would also like to hear from anyone who has any dash cam footage.
