“I was shook when I heard the news and then it has been a case where no news was not good news and to learn of her passing almost a month later is difficult. Her family and friends will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.”

PSNI Constable Stephen Dickson is appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or have dash-cam footage in the area around that time to contact the collision investigation unit on 101, quoting reference 776 of 17/01/19.
