A man has been questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a crash in Fareham.

A 21-year-old woman was killed following an incident on Down End Road.

Officers investigating the tragedy remain keen to hear from witnesses.

Emergency services were called to the scene of the crash at 12.40am on Thursday.

On arrival, they found a Ford Fiesta that had left the carriageway.

The driver, a 22-year-old man from Paulsgrove, was taken to the Queen Alexandra Hospital to be treated for his injuries. They were described as serious but not life threatening. His passenger was pronounced dead at the scene.

Following appeals for information about a Ford Transit van seen on the road around the time of the incident, police arrested a man later on Thursday.

The 29-year-old, from Cosham and said by Hampshire Constabulary to have been the driver of the van, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

He has since been released from custody but remains under investigation.

A force spokesperson said: "We would like to thank you for the information we have received, and to all the people who shared our appeal.

"However we continue to appeal for any witnesses to make contact with the police.

"Were you in the area at the time? Perhaps you have dash cam footage or CCTV that could assist us?"
