Dorking RFC led tributes to the Coldstream Guard who has been described as 'lovable and funny' and a 'wholehearted' rugby player.
The man killed after being hit by a car in Reigate during the early hours of Saturday , has been named as Dorking Rugby's U21 player Ben Regan.
A statement on the club's website said: "RIP Ben Regan. It is with great sadness that we pass on the terrible news that U21 player Ben Regan was tragically knocked down and killed last night in Reigate.
"Our hearts and thoughts are with his Dad, Jim, and his family. Ben was a lifelong DRFC player and his death will touch the whole DRFC family."
The club also made the announcement on their official Twitter page.
Speaking to Get Surrey, club vice chairman Paul Mosley, who had known Mr Regan since the age of seven, said: "From a rugby perspective he was a wholehearted player. He was a forward, a strong and fast player. He absolutely lived for the game and loved it.
"He was part of the Dorking team that won the national under 17s cup in 2012.
"Off the field he was just the most lovable bloke and was engagingly funny. Everybody loved Ben. He had a big personality. He was always a very positive lad and had a lot to overcome and did it well."
Mr Mosley said Mr Regan was a Coldstream Guard and was involved in the Trooping of the Colour at the Queen's annual birthday parade last weekend.
Earlier on Saturday, Surrey Police launched an investigation following a suspected hit-and-run in Bell Street, Reigate, close to Joules Bar.
Paramedics from South East Coast Ambulance went to the scene but at around 2.45am the man was declared dead.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Sergeant Gary Wright, said: "This was a tragic incident where a young man has sadly lost his life and our thoughts are with the victim's family and friends at this devastating time."
On Saturday afternoon a man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of numerous driving offences and remains in police custody.
He took part in the Trooping Of The Colour just last week.
Having seen murderers released on bail, I think it's unusual for the driver to remain in custody for 'driving offences'.
Could this be another case similar to Lee Rigby?

Unusual. I normally get called names by now. |

Any other info on the driver?

You can't be too surprised at the lack of comments. There isn't much to actually comment ON. Guy gets knocked down. Promising football player.
Further developments may prove interesting but, as things stand, just another unfortunate road death. |

you make it sound like they were doing a couple of mph over the speed limit. It was a fatal hit and run FFS Will be in custody for questioning which must be standard |

The police can hold you for up to 24 hours before they have to charge you with a crime or release you. They can apply to hold you for up to 36 or 96 hours if you're suspected of a serious crime
Story doesnt say when they were taken into custody. Without wanting to speculate, its highly more probable the soldier wasnt completely sober and walked into the road If there was a hint it was like lee rigby im confident it would be getting some exposure on more substantial news services than the surrey times |

I never mentioned Lee Rigby so not sure why you are bringing that up in your reply.
All I said was it was unusual for the police to hold a hit and run driver for so long even with a fatality involved. |
|
By:
have you read the OPs post?
|
|
By:
Yes. But what has that got to do with my post to you saying it must be standard to hold a hit and run driver so long?
|
|
By:
He might have only been in custody for an hour
|
|
By:
It says he was arrested on Saturday afternoon. So to re-iterate if still in custody then it would be unusual.
|
|
By:
ok, i still dont think its unusual to be in custody for a couple of days over a hit and run
|
|
By:
Into his third day which would be highly unusual unless something else was afoot.

Paul Cridge, 54, from Rectory Farm, Northampton, dropped off at 1-40 a.m. Saturday. It is believed he was hit by a car as he walked along the A4500.
Two men, aged 23 and 35, who were arrested on Saturday, have been released on bail. |

As I said in the OP
Only 'driving offences' - yet he was remanded in custody. =================================================================== . http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Woman-appears-court-charged-causing-death/story-26229150-detail/story.html Woman appears in court charged with causing death of daughter while driving under influence of drugs. A mother appeared in court this morning charged with carelessly causing the deaths of her daughter and her son's girlfriend, by driving while under the influence of cannabis. A provisional trial date was arranged for mid-September. Two dead and one injured - 'driving offences'?? But she was released on bail. . |
