busy road in and out of the city, I believe there are people who saw what happened and can help.
"I'd like to speak to any motorists who were driving along Hinckley Road and in particular, anyone with a dashcam. Pedestrians who were walking along the road and saw what happened may
also have key information that could assist our investigation."
