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.

Sources claimed the culprits were acting under the orders of caged hitman Barry Harvey, 37, when they targeted the pad in Bishopbriggs, near Glasgow. The feared gun thug is said to have had a bust-up with Fleming — jailed for almost ten years for smuggling coke into the UK in solar panels alongside Scots cartel boss James 'The Don' White. An insider said last night: 'Fleming was only home half a day when four guys burned two of his cars and his house. 'Harvey has a personal gripe with Fleming and he's said to be behind it.

Brit socialite Maxwell, 63, is serving 20 years in Florida after being convicted of offences including sex trafficking. The meeting came after President Donald Trump faced questions over his own links to Epstein, who killed himself in jail awaiting trial in 2019. A source, quoted by The Mail on Sunday, said: 'Ghislaine has never told her story to anyone in government before. 'At times it was very emotional but she answered every question asked of her. 'She was asked about a list of people including Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz and powerful Wall Street financiers. 'It's ironic that Elon Musk kicked this whole thing off when he fell out with Trump and then made that post on X about Trump allegedly preventing the release of the full Epstein documents as some sort of 'cover-up'. 'Well, Elon is in there, as is his brother. "It was a monumental moment for Ghislaine to finally be asked about these people and to tell the truth.'

Iraqi businessman granted asylum in UK ‘led billion-dollar oil smuggling plot to help fund Iran's terror state'
Trucks full of cash made from the scheme have allegedly been sent to Iran to finance the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps TERROR PLOT Iraqi businessman granted asylum in UK 'led billion-dollar oil smuggling plot to help fund Iran's terror state' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN IRAQI businessman granted asylum in the UK has been accused of running a billion dollar oil smuggling plot to finance global terrorism and domestic tyranny by Iran. The Trump administration claims Salim Ahmed Said, 47, has been running a network of firms passing off Iranian oil as a product of Iraq to avoid sanctions for at least five years. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Trucks full of cash made from the scheme have allegedly been sent to Iran to finance the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Iraqi Kurd Said became a British citizen after seeking refuge from the Saddam Hussein regime in the UK in the early 2000s. He owns a £27 million hotel in Kensington, West London, and runs two British companies blacklisted by the US Treasury. Said was placed under US sanctions on July 3 but UK authorities so far do not appear to have taken action against him. The US government said that some of the money from the plot had benefited the IRGC's elite Quds Force, a designated terrorist organisation which leads Tehran's overseas operations. The Quds Force is suspected of kidnapping and assassination plots in Britain, the US and Europe and supports terror groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi movement, and Shia militias in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. US Treasury documents state: 'Salim Ahmed Said runs a network of companies that have been selling Iranian oil falsely declared as Iraqi oil since at least 2020. 'Said's companies use ship-to-ship transfers and other obfuscation techniques to hide their activities. 'Said's companies and vessels blend Iranian oil with Iraqi oil, which is then sold to Western buyers, via Iraq or the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as purely Iraqi oil using forged documentation to avoid sanctions.'
