A 52-year-old man from Bath has been arrested by detectives investigating a fatal 'hit and run' in the city.

Jake Gilmore, 19, a chef from Oldfield Park, was cycling home from work on Saturday when he was hit by a vehicle on Midland Bridge Road at 21:30 GMT.

He was treated at the Royal United Hospital for serious head injuries but died on Sunday morning.

Avon and Somerset Police said a man had been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

The man was released on bail by police until 17 January.

A VW Golf car with "damage consistent with the collision" was found abandoned near Royal Victoria Park on Monday, a police spokesman said.

"This is a significant development for our investigation and later today we will be interviewing the suspect about the incident," said Det Insp Charlotte Tucker.
