He was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and subsequently arrested on suspicion of murder.

The man has since been released on conditional bail.

Detective Inspector David Hutcheon said: "Whilst it took place in the early hours of the morning, I would ask anyone who was driving through the area at that time, or who lives nearby and may have seen or heard something, to get in touch. 

"I would ask members of the community in that area to check their CCTV systems to see if they have had any activations including audio recordings around this time."

The 32-year-old Crewe man has been released on conditional bail following the suspected murder of Charlotte Dodd (Cheshire Police).
