Officers are continuing their efforts to trace the driver involved in the fail-to-stop collision.
Superintendent Rob O’Connor said: “Whilst I am sure the majority of people fully understand why we cannot divulge the details of the tactics involved – to do so would risk compromising the on-going work being carried out – I can assure the public that every efforts is being made to trace the driver involved in this collision and I would ask for patience whilst we continue that work.
“The investigation into the incident continues today and I am confident that, if the driver does not have the good sense to come forward himself, we will locate and arrest him.”
