Investigating officer PC Andy Wickens, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, from Abingdon police station, said: “I am appealing for witnesses to this collision to please come forward.

“I would also appeal to the driver of the car involved to come forward.

“There is no doubt they would not know they had been involved in a collision.

“Also, if you have any dash-cam footage if you were driving in the area around the time, I’d also ask that you check any recordings in case it has captured something that could assist our investigation.
