Northumbria Police have issued an appeal to anyone travelling on the A1 in Berwick last night who may have seen anything which could assist with their investigation into the deaths of a man and his dog.
At around 7.40pm yesterday, it was reported that a yellow Citroën DS3 had been travelling on the northbound carriageway when it has struck a pedestrian and his dog who are believed to have been on the road.
Sadly, the pedestrian – a man in his 40s – and the Cocker Spaniel were both declared dead upon emergency services arrival.
His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
The driver of the Citroën remained at the scene and is assisting officers with their enquiries.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
