Police have arrested two men after a teenager was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Leeds.

Ashton Kitchen-White, 19, died after he was struck by a red Ford Focus as he crossed Middleton Ring Road in Beeston Park on Friday.

West Yorkshire Police said Regan Kemp, 26, from St Just, Penzance, and Liam Miller, 24, from Polbeth, West Lothian, were detained overnight. A third man, Macauley Martin, 26, from Livingston, West Lothian, is still being sought

Both Mr Kemp and Mr Miller were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, a force spokesperson added.

Detectives from West Yorkshire Police’s Major Collision Enquiry Team continued to appeal for information to help them trace Mr Martin.

Det Ch Insp James Entwistle said: “Now is clearly not a time for any misguided sense of loyalty to come above the needs of Ashton’s heartbroken family.”

Mr Kitchen-White’s family said the teenager was “one in a million” and had been about to “embark on his journey to become a doctor at Leeds University”.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or who may have relevant dashcam or mobile phone footage is asked to contact police.
