“In particular, from our enquiries we understand there was a man approaching the Carters Quay bus stop at the time of the collision wearing a navy jacket, dark-coloured trousers, baseball cap and rucksack and carrying a white shopping bag. Similarly, there was a delivery rider on a moped in the area at the time.

“I am keen to identify these individuals as they are potential witnesses to the collision and may be able to assist our investigation.”
