Police investigating a collision in Cheltenham in which a man died are appealing for the driver of another car to come forward.

Emergency services were called at around 12.40am on Sunday (26 January) to a report of a collision at the A40 Benhall Roundabout involving a white Porsche. Theo Welsh, aged 36, died at the scene.

Officers investigating the collision now believe the driver of a white SUV could have witnessed the incident and are appealing for them to get in touch.

The car was driving on Gloucester Road towards GCHQ at the time and was overtaken by a small, dark coloured car.

It is thought that the driver could have key information and officers would like to speak to them about what they may have seen.

Four people were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving on Sunday. The four, who were in separate vehicles to the Porsche, have been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Anyone with information is being urged to contact officers on 101.
