Inspector Sarah Munnelly, of Northumbria Police’s Motor Patrols Department, said: "Our thoughts are with Jack’s family at this devastating time and I’d ask that their privacy is continued to be respected as they attempt to come to terms with the events of the last week.
"Any death on our roads is a tragedy, but it is especially poignant when it involves somebody so young who had their full life ahead of them. We will continue to offer his family any support they need.
"A full investigation was launched immediately after the collision and we are continuing to carry out a range of enquiries to try and give the family the answers they deserve as to the circumstances surrounding the incident.
"I am today re-appealing to anybody who believes they saw this incident, or who has information that could assist our investigation, to come forward."
Anyone with information or dashcam footage that may assist our enquiries is asked to get in touch via the ‘Tell Us Something’ page of our website or by calling 101 quoting log NP-20220913-0827.
