Officers have now renewed their appeal for information about the death of 17-year-old Dylan Price, who was killed when he was hit by a vehicle on the B4385 Brampton Road in Bishop's Castle in the early hours of Sunday, September 19.

It was the day before his 18th birthday.

A 42-year-old man, from Bishop's Castle, was last month arrested on suspicion of causing Dylan's death by dangerous driving.

But he has since been released and in a statement police said they were "satisfied he was not involved in the collision".

Detective Inspector Jo Delahay of West Mercia Police, said: “We are continuing to seek the public’s help in assisting us to better understand what happened to Dylan that night.
