"We are continuing to appeal for anyone who witnessed the collision or came to the assistance of the lady and provided first aid to come forward.

"We are also appealing to any motorists who may have been driving on Acrefield Road around this time and have a dash camera in their vehicle to contact us.

"I would be grateful if you could check your footage as soon as possible and contact our officers if you have captured something of significance.
