Man remains in custody on suspicion of Kingsbridge murder
A second man has been interviewed by police under caution
A man in his 30s, arrested on suspicion of murder in Kingsbridge remains in custody, as investigations continue into the death of a 22 year old woman on the A379.
She died at the scene of an incident in the early hours on Wednesday (23rd April) at Embankment Road, New Bridge.
Police have interviewed a second man, in his 50s, under caution - on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
He's been released under investigation.
Detective Inspector Guy Biggar, who is leading the investigation for Devon and Cornwall Police, said: “Our thoughts are with the victim’s family at this very difficult time for them.
“We have a number of lines of enquiry as we try to establish the full circumstances surrounding the death, with one avenue being that she may have been hit by a vehicle, but we are also considering other possibilities.
“The closure of the A379 remained in place until late into the evening on Wednesday. We would like to thank the public for their patience during the road closure, which we appreciate caused significant disruption in the area.
“Unfortunately, a further road closure was necessary this afternoon, Thursday 24th April, as enquiries are continuing. It has since been reopened.
“We are continuing to call for anyone with any information or any dashcam footage to come forward as we investigate the circumstances surrounding this death.”
If you can help with any information about the incident, or dashcam footage that could help with enquiries, you're asked to call Devon and Cornwall Police on 101, quoting reference number 50250099726.
