Detective Sergeant Lisa Wood said: “Our enquiries into the collision are very much ongoing as the investigation continues.
“Today is three weeks on since the incident and I am further appealing for anyone with information regarding the incident who hasn’t spoken to police to get in touch as well as specifically the drivers of three particular vehicles.
