Officers investigating a fatal road traffic collision in Watford are releasing dash cam images of two potential witnesses who might be able to help.

At around 5.50pm on Friday 2 December, a crash occurred between a pedestrian and a black Toyota Yaris on the A405 North Orbital Road at the junction of Bucknalls Lane.

The pedestrian, Robert ā€˜Bobā€™ Clewley, aged 71, from Hemel Hempstead, died at the scene.

The driver of the Yaris, a woman in her 20s, was not injured.

Detective Constable Dale Morris, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: ā€œOur enquiries have uncovered dash cam footage of two people who were in the area at the time and we are hopeful that they may be able to assist the investigation. I would like to make clear that they are not suspects in any way but were simply pedestrians walking by.

ā€œI appreciate the images are of a low quality however we owe it to Bobā€™s family to explore every line of inquiry. Do you recognise the people pictured? Are you one of the people in the photos?
