Police investigating a fatal collision on the A10 in Edmonton have arrested a teenage boy on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop.

It has also been revealed this morning that the 28-year-old woman who died in the incident was out walking her dogs at the time and that both pets were also tragically killed.
