The man was discovered lying on the three-lane A40 near Chiswick

A 23-year-old man was killed after apparently being flung out of a moving car which sped off into the night leaving him dying on a busy main road.

Police launched a murder enquiry after Aaron McQueen Williams was discovered just after midnight lying unconscious on the three-lane A40 in Ealing, west London with serious head injuries.

Two men, one aged 24 and one aged 23, were arrested in connection with Aaron's death. They were later released on police bail pending further inquiries and ordered to return to the police station in July.

Police and paramedics rushed to the scene early Friday morning and Aaron was taken to hospital in a critical condition where doctors struggled for more than six hours to save his life.

He was later pronounced dead and a post-mortem examination could shed no light on how he met his death, proving inconclusive.

Further tests are being carried out on Aaron's body today while detectives try to establish the circumstances surrounding his death.

It was unknown whether Aaron's head injuries were caused when he fell from the car or whether he was beaten before he was thrown from the vehicle.

Police have been scanning through CCTV footage of the road to identify the car, which sped off after Aaron was ejected.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: 'Police were called to a man found seriously injured on the eastbound A40, near to the junction with Hanger Lane in Ealing, West London.

'Police and London Ambulance Service attended the scene and Aaron was taken to hospital suffering serious head injuries.

'He was subsequently pronounced dead shortly after 7am.

'An incident room has opened at Barnes under detectives from the Specialist Crime Directorate.

'This is being treated as an unexplained death and inquiries are underway to establish the full circumstances of the incident.

'At this early stage it is believed that the man fell from a moving car travelling along the A40.

'The car did not stop.'

It was believed that a motorist travelling behind the suspect's car may have seen the shocking incident and other drivers were thought to have stopped at the scene.
