Two teenagers have been arrested after a 19-year-old man was killed in a hit-and-run in Leeds.

Police were called to Middleton Ring Road in Beeston Park just after 10pm on Friday evening where a red Ford Focus had hit a man who was crossing the road near the Leeds Urban Bike Park.

The car left the scene leaving the man with serious injuries. He died at the roadside.

The Ford Focus was later recovered by officers and a 15-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

The road remained closed on Saturday morning while investigations continued into the crash.

DCI James Entwistle, from West Yorkshire Police, said: “A substantial number of enquiries remain ongoing today into this very serious collision which has tragically resulted in the death of a young male.

"We are supporting his family and continue to hold two males in custody following their arrest on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

"We are actively appealing for information and footage to assist the investigation and would like to speak to anyone who has CCTV, dashcam or phone footage of the collision, or of the car involved, just before it took place."
