As part of this work we are particularly keen to trace the drivers and any occupants of two vehicles that were travelling along Russell Road at around 4.47pm – the time the collision occurred. One of the vehicles is a small silver coloured car and the other is a white coloured Vauxhall Vivaro van which had ladders on its roof and the letters ‘CP’ on the side and rear doors.
