Kent Police have launched a public appeal for information following a fatal road traffic collision in Gillingham that claimed the life of a male pedestrian.
Appeal for Witnesses and Footage
Officers from the force's Serious Collision Investigation Unit are urging anyone with information to come forward. They are particularly keen to obtain any dashcam or CCTV footage that may show a grey Mercedes estate car in the area around the time of the incident.
The collision occurred on Monday 30 December 2025 at approximately 12.10pm on the A289 Gads Hill in Gillingham. Emergency services, including South East Coast Ambulance paramedics, attended the scene and treated the pedestrian. Despite their efforts, the man was pronounced dead a short time later.
CCTV Images of Men Sought
As part of their ongoing investigation, detectives have released closed-circuit television images of two men they wish to identify and speak to. The CCTV stills show two hooded men dressed in dark clothing on a pavement near the scene. In one of the images, one man appears to be running while carrying what seems to be a number plate.
Detective Inspector Zoe Wilczek, who is leading the inquiry, acknowledged the images were not perfectly clear but stressed their importance. "While we appreciate the quality of these images isn't crystal clear, we are still in the early stages of our investigation and thank everyone who has provided images and witness accounts so far," she said.
How to Contact the Investigation Team
DI Wilczek added a direct plea to the public: "We urge anyone with relevant information regarding the incident or these men to get in touch with us."
Kent Police have provided the following contact details for anyone who can assist:
- Call the incident room directly on 01622 798538, quoting the reference number 29-0481.
- Alternatively, provide information completely anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers.
The investigation continues as officers work to establish the full circumstances surrounding the fatal collision.
