AN elderly man was killed in a road accident in Pulloxhill in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The 77-year-old was walking along Greenfield Road just before 12.30am when he was hit by a car, believed to be a Vauxhall Astra, which failed to stop.
Police said the victim was a local and later arrested a man on suspicion of failing to stop at the scene of a road traffic collision.
A spokesman for Bedfordshire Police said the arrested man had been released on police bail until December. Witnesses should call 01234 841212.
