A man in his 20s has been bailed following his arrest after a fatal crash in Epsom this week.

The collision involved a black Smart car and a stationary street cleaning vehicle on Christ Church Road shortly before 11.40pm on Wednesday (August 5).

A woman in her 20s, who was a passenger in the car, sadly died at the scene.

The driver was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, driving while over the prescribed limit, failing to provide a specimen for analysis and causing death by driving while uninsured.

He was taken to hospital for medical treatment.
