“In addition, I would ask local businesses and homeowners with CCTV to check their systems to see if the collision has been captured. We know the area was busy with traffic and as such I would also ask anyone who was in the area at the time who has dashcam fitted to their vehicles to urgently review it. Any help we receive, no matter how insignificant it may seem can assist our investigation.”
