Officers are keen to trace the occupants of these vehicles as they may have information that could help them progress their investigation into the circumstances of the collision.

Witnesses or anyone who saw either vehicle before the collision, particularly the driver of a white van travelling in front of the Range Rover, should call police on 415415.
