Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "Our thoughts remain with the friends and family of the man and woman who are still coming to terms with what has happened.

“We have specialist family liaison officers supporting them at this incredibly sad time.

“We’re grateful to all the witnesses who have already come forward to help with our investigation.

“Whilst the recovery of a suspect vehicle and an arrest are positive steps, the investigation is far from complete.

“I would urge anyone who was in the area and may have dashcam footage or anyone who saw what happened and hasn’t already spoken to us, to please come forward.

“Every piece of information is vital so please do not assume it is not or that we already know. The man’s family deserve answers and we need to establish exactly what happened leading to this tragic incident.”
