“We would appeal to anyone who saw this car being driven erratically, witnessed the hit and run incident or has mobile phone / dashcam footage of either to get in touch with police on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 130 of 13/5/18.
“We would also like to hear from the driver of the Zafira who is described as female, with long blonde hair and wearing a baseball cap or from one of the passengers in the car who we believe was a man in his mid-20s, wearing a grey tracksuit with white stripes on the trouser legs. We believe that they may have information that could prove useful to our investigation."
