The Essex police department said that emergency services, including the air ambulance, attended the scene.
However, the man, believed to be a Polish national with British citizenship, died shortly after the crash.
It is understood that the road was closed while emergency services were responding to the situation, but was reopened shortly after.
Cops have now put out an appeal urging people with CCTV or dashcam footage of the crash to step forward.
It comes after a 19-year-old was killed while crossing a road in a horror hit-and-run case.
The man was struck by a Ford while crossing a road near Leeds Urban Bike Path on Saturday.
The car failed to stop at the scene, where the pedestrian was sadly killed.
Two arrests have now been made with two males, aged 15 and 19, taken into custody.
The horror crash occurred on Middleton Ring Road, Beeston Park, with police asking witnesses to come forward.
The Major Collision and Enquiry Team has asked for any dash cam footage to be submitted and for any witnesses to come forward.
Moment learner driver runs away after killing woman in horror head-on crash - SWNS
Meanwhile, footage captured the moment an uninsured learner driver runs away after killing a woman in a horror head-on crash.
Dashcam footage showed Khizer Ali smashing his mum's VW Gold into a Vauxhall Meriva, carrying elderly couple Valerie and David Ayres.
Ali was seen speeding at 59mph in a 40mph zone moments before the fatal crash on the A441 in Redditch, Worcester, on April 23 last year.
Mrs Ayres, 65, was killed instantly while her husband suffered horrific life-changing injuries.
Ali admitted a string of offences, including causing death by dangerous driving, at Worcester Crown Court.
On Friday, he was jailed for 11 years and three months and banned from driving for 12-and-a-half years.
The court heard Ali, who only held a provisional licence, had been driving his sister's car but swapped with her to get into their mother's Golf.
The car was a Motability scheme vehicle that only his mother and sister were insured on.
It comes after a heartbroken mum paid an emotional tribute to her three-week-old baby killed by a drug-driver.
Newborn Harley Wilkinson died in a horror crash that unfolded in Worcestershire at just after midnight on October 26 last year.
The family had been on their way home after picking the infant up from a relative's house.
Harley had been sitting on his father Jake Wilkinson's lap in the back seat while his mum, Imogen Bradley, drove.
A court heard Mr Wilkinson had become "frustrated" at trying to strap Harley into his car seat, so he chose to hold him for the short journey.
Disaster struck when Craig Nunn, 40, ran his Ford Focus through a red light and smashed into their black Suzuki Vitara.

Russia urges US and UK to restrain Ukraine after attacks on bombers
MOSCOW, June 4 (Reuters) - Moscow said on Wednesday that military options were "on the table" for its response to Ukrainian attacks deep inside Russia and accused the West of being involved in them. Russia also urged the United States and Britain to restrain Kyiv after the attacks, which Ukrainian officials have lauded as showing Kyiv can still fight back after more than three years of war. British and U.S. officials have said they had no prior knowledge of Ukraine's attacks on Russian nuclear-capable long-range bombers at military bases over the weekend. Ukraine also tried to blow up a rail and road link with Crimea on Tuesday, and Russia says Kyiv blew up a highway bridge over a passenger train late on Saturday. U.S. President Donald Trump's Ukraine envoy said the risk of escalation from the war "going way up" after the attacks on the nuclear-capable bombers. A week earlier, Trump rebuked Russian President Vladimir Putin over a fierce aerial attack on Ukraine. "We urge London and Washington to react in such a way as to stop further escalation," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who oversees relations with the U.S. and arms control, was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency. "All options are on the table," Ryabkov said, when asked what Russia's response to Ukraine's attacks would be. "This is a question for our military." Russia and the U.S. together hold about 88% of all nuclear weapons. Asked whether Russia thought the West was involved in the recent attacks, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the West supplied weapons, gave target coordinates, refused to condemn such attacks and actively incited them. "These are several areas that prove the fact of the involvement, both direct and indirect, and the guilt of the West for the terrorist attacks that are taking place against civilians and civilian infrastructure facilities by the Kyiv regime," Zakharova said. Kyiv has not commented on the bridge attacks. Each side has accused the other of carrying out acts of terrorism during the conflict and each blames the other for a lack of progress at peace talks. Trump was not informed in advance of Ukraine's drone attacks on Russia, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday. A British government official said the government was not informed ahead of time.

Madeleine McCann: Search teams scour scrubland and abandoned buildings
Teams of German and Portuguese police officers, as well as firefighters, face the daunting task of hunting for evidence 18 years on from the disappearance of the British three-year-old in 2007. This week's operation is focusing on a sparsely developed area of land around 3.5 miles from Praia da Luz, where Madeleine was last seen while on holiday with her parents and siblings. She vanished after she was left sleeping in a room with her toddler twin brother and sister while her parents went for dinner with friends in a nearby restaurant. Kate and Gerry McCann are not commenting during the 'active police investigation', staff at the Find Madeleine Campaign said. On Wednesday, officers were seen clearing vegetation around abandoned buildings, wearing protective gear such as hard hats and face masks, and a digger was used to move rubble. The area where they are working is an area of fields and scrubland between a main road and the sea, with a few buildings including a vineyard. It has been variously reported that teams will look where trenches were dug near the resort at the time of Madeleine's disappearance, at wells, ruins and water tanks, and that there are plans to examine 21 pieces of land. The search is being carried out at the request of the German federal police, as they look for evidence that could implicate prime suspect Christian Brueckner, who is in prison for raping a 72-year-old woman in Praia da Luz in 2005. He is due to be released from jail in September if no further charges are brought. In October last year, Brueckner was cleared by a German court of unrelated sexual offences, alleged to have taken place in Portugal between 2000 and 2017. About 30 German police, including forensic experts, are expected to take part in the search alongside Portuguese officers. The operation is expected to last until Friday. The Metropolitan Police said they were aware of the operation but that British officers will not be present. German investigators and Portuguese officers last carried out searches in 2023, near the Barragem do Arade reservoir, about 30 miles from Praia da Luz. Brueckner, who spent time in the area between 2000 and 2017, had photographs and videos of himself near the reservoir. It was previously searched in 2008, when Portuguese lawyer Marcos Aragao Correia paid for specialist divers to search it, after he claimed to have been tipped off by criminal contacts that Madeleine's body was there. British police were later given permission to examine scrubland near where she vanished in 2014.

Fourth man arrested over fires at properties linked to Keir Starmer bailed
The 48-year-old was stopped at Stansted Airport on Monday and arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life. On Wednesday the Metropolitan Police said he had been released on bail to a date in July. Three men have already been charged in connection with the fires: Ukrainians Petro Pochynok, 34, and Roman Lavrynovych, 21, and Ukrainian-born Romanian national Stanislav Carpiuc, 26, who are all due to appear at the Old Bailey on Friday. Lavrynovych, of Sydenham, south-east London, is charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life. Pochynok, of Holloway Road in Islington, north London, and Carpiuc, of Chadwell Heath, east London, are accused of conspiring to commit arson with intent to endanger life. Two of the fires took place in Kentish Town, north London – one in the early hours of May 12 at the home where Sir Keir lived before he became Prime Minister and moved into Downing Street. A car was set alight in the same street four days earlier on May 8. The other fire took place on May 11 at the front door of a house converted into flats in Islington.
