West Yorkshire Police are continuing to investigate and appeal for witnesses to a fatal collision in Bradford on Monday night.

Specialist officers are continuing to support the family of the 39-year-old woman who lost her life as enquiries continue into the collision at the junction of Hinchcliffe Street and Beech Terrace.

The collision itself took place at about 3pm after a grey Citroen C1 was in collision with the victim who, sadly, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

A 41-year-old man was arrested yesterday on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving in connection with the crash and remains in police custody.  Following further investigations he has now also been arrested on suspicion of murder.

The force can confirm these rumours are incorrect and that the Citroen C1 was not being pursued by the police.

Chief Inspector Daniel Ware, of Bradford District Police, said: “We are continuing to investigate this fatal collision and are supporting the victim’s family at what is clearly a devastating time for them.

“I want to thank residents and witnesses who have come forward with information to support the police investigation, and continue to urge witnesses who we may not have spoken with to contact us.

“Anyone who can assist our enquiries with information and dashcam or CCTV/phone footage is asked to contact West Yorkshire Police via 101 or online using www.westyorkshire.police.uk/101livechat   quoting log 1040 of 10/05.”
