“The collision occurred at just after 12noon on a busy stretch of the A417 in Oxfordshire, and I am making an appeal to anybody who witnessed the collision or who may have dash-cam of the collision or the moments leading up to it to please contact police on 101, or make a report online, quoting reference number 43210326007.
