"We have arrested a woman on suspicion of assisting an offender, she is now in police custody for questioning.

“I would like to directly appeal to the driver to come and talk to police, you know who you are, you know what happened, you should do the right thing now. We won’t stop until we find you.

“My thoughts continue to be with the woman’s family, I can’t imagine what her loved ones are going through. I want to be in a position to answer all of their questions, and I can only do that with help from those who know what happened.

“I would also like to renew my appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision to come forward, or for anyone who might know where the driver is to get in touch with police.

“We are still collecting dash-cam footage, so if you managed to capture the incident or the Silver Mondeo driving to or away from the scene, then please pass your footage to police."
