“We would also be interested in any dashcam footage from the road at the time.

“A member of the public who may have witnessed the incident was spoken to by officers at the time and officers are keen to speak to them again.

“Information can be passed to officers via 101. Please quote incident number 3162 of Saturday, 12 October 2024 when calling.”
