Two people have been arrested after a 90-year-old was found in the road with serious injuries following a fatal hit and run.
Emergency services were called at 7.27am to an incident in Butts Road, Sholing, after an elderly man was found in the road with serious injuries near the junction with Crest Way.
The man, from Southampton, was taken to hospital for treatment but died from his injuries.
Officers from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit have now made two arrests.
A 36-year-old man from Southampton has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, drug driving, and being the driver of a vehicle that failed to stop after a road accident. He remains in custody at this time.
A 73-year-old woman from Southampton has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and being the driver of a vehicle that failed to stop after a road accident. She has been bailed until April 21.
The police are continuing to appeal to anyone who may have been travelling on that stretch of road and to anyone who may have dash cam or any CCTV footage to come forward.
In particular, they are looking to identify the driver of a black car which was travelling on Butts Road in the direction of Portsmouth Road.
Officers no longer believe this vehicle was involved in the collision but we do believe the driver may have witnessed the incident and we would like to speak with them.
Anyone with information should call 101 quoting reference 44260031126.
