Peter Bartle died after being hit by a car on Holderness road on Friday evening

A man who died after being hit by a car in Hull has been named as 63-year-old Peter Bartle.

Mr Bartle and his wife, Sarah, 48, were struck by a grey BMW as they crossed Holderness Road at about 19:50 GMT on Friday.

Humberside Police said the car was reported to have been travelling eastbound before the incident near the junction of Clarence Street and Dansom Lane South.

Mr Bartle died at the scene of the crash and his wife is in hospital.

A crowdfunding page set up to help with care and funeral costs raised more then £10,000 in the first few hours.

The fundraising page said Mr Bartle was due to retire next year and "spent most of his life serving his country".
