Sergeant Steve Smith from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “Although we have made an arrest after what was a truly devastating incident for the family of the young woman who sadly lost her life, our enquiries are still ongoing in relation to the circumstances.
“Therefore, we’d ask that anyone who witnessed the collision or captured anything on dashcam or other devices and has yet to come forward does so as soon as possible. Your information could be absolutely vital in putting together the final pieces of our investigation.”
