“We are carrying out a detailed investigation to establish the full circumstances of what happened and I am keen to speak with any witnesses who have not already had contact with police.

“I would also urge any motorists with dashcam who were in the vicinity at the time to please check their footage for anything that might assist our enquiries.”
