Flora tributes have been laid at the scene of a crash in Exeter in which a 80-year-old man was killed.
The pensioner from Broadclyst, named locally as Les Baker, was struck by a heavy goods vehicle on Pinhoe Road near the junction of Exhibition Way.
It is understood he worked as a grounds maintenance worker for the county council before his retirement.
He was apparently known in the village, where he lived for about 40 years, for driving a Robin Reliant and for his love of gardening.
A number of flower bouquets – some accompanied by written messages – have been left near the scene of the accident happened.
One read: "Rest in peace. Our thoughts are with your family."
The accident took place close to Sainsbury supermarket, Pinhoe at around 2.30pm.
Officers, along with paramedics, were called to the scene following reports that a pedestrian was seriously injured.
The pensioner was pronounced dead at the scene.
Children from local schools were walking home soon after the collision took place.
Police said the heavy goods vehicle did not stop at the scene, but was located a short while later at Cullompton.
A 53-year-old man from Street, Somerset, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and failing to stop at the scene of a collision.
He was taken to Heavitree Road Police Station and later released on police bail until March 25.
Enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances of the collision, and police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
The B3181 Pinhoe Road was closed at Exhibition Way and Cumberland Way for seven hours while a forensic examination of the scene took place.
Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to call police on 101 quoting reference 380, of January 27.
Two hours earlier a 57-year-old woman from Halberton, Tiverton, named locally as Jan Johnstone, died when her car was in a collision with an HGV on the northbound carriageway of the M5, at junction 28 near Cullompton.
