“When this incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, venues in the area were still open and we believe many people would have seen what happened.

“I would appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision or any activity they think may be relevant prior to the collision to come forward. The information you have – no matter how trivial you believe it to be – could be vital to investigators.”
