Leicestershire Police are still appealing for witnesses after naming the man who died in a car crash in Whitwick just before Christmas.

Police reported today (Thursday) that the man was 24-year-old Aaron Fairbrother from Whitwick.

Police say Mr Fairbrother was a passenger in the car and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Another man, aged 22, was taken to Queen's Medical Centre and treated for non-life threatening injuries.

He was arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of drugs and has since been released under investigation.

The single-vehicle collision happened in Leicester Road shortly before 1.30am, on December 23, when a black Nissan Note that was travelling from Whitwick towards the Leicester Road/Abbey Road/Warrens Hill Road area left the carriageway.

Man is killed in Whitwick car crash

Detective Constable Paul Hicks, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "Our enquiries are ongoing and I would like to speak to anyone who saw the Nissan Note in the area of Whitwick prior to the collision.

"We have spoken to some people who stopped at the scene, but I would also ask anyone who saw what happened – or who has a dashcam installed in their vehicle and thinks they can help – to come forward.

"Any information you have could help our investigation."

You can pass on information by visiting HERE and quoting incident 21 of 23 December. Alternatively, you can call 101.
