POLICE have launched a manhunt for a driver after two people were rammed off their e-bikes by a Land Rover in a fatal smash.
A 25-year-old mum, Alana Armstrong, was killed when the 4×4 allegedly followed the pair before crashing into them in Pleasley, Derbyshire.
According to local police, the vehicle, believed to be a Land Rover Discovery from between 2004 and 2009, followed a pair of e-bikes onto a narrow lane before “ramming” one of them.
The rider, a man in his 20s, was hospitalised with serious injuries but his pillion passenger, Alana, was pronounced dead when emergency services arrived.
The car did not stop at the scene.
Derbyshire Constabulary have now released a CCTV image of a woman they believe has “vital information” in relation to the murder.
The woman was pictured outside the White Swan pub in the town wearing a light-coloured jumper, matching trousers and white trainers.
She was of average height and build and had dark hair, tied back into a ponytail.
A man and a woman, both in their 30s, have already been arrested as part of the murder inquiry.
Investigation lead DCI Claudia Musson said: “This is an understandably shocking incident that has left a family grieving the loss of a young woman.
“A team of detectives have been working non-stop since the incident took place and have generated significant lines of enquiry.
“We are, however, wanting to hear from anyone who has any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to help us bring those responsible to justice.
“Of particular interest is anyone with information about a dark-coloured Land Rover Discovery, it may be that you saw it in the area around the time of the incident – or you have seen a vehicle matching this description that may have sustained damage or been recently repaired.”
Anyone with information about the case or who believes they have spotted the woman in the CCTV image should contact the force on 101, quoting reference 24*705090.
You can also use the force’s reporting form on its website or contact it on social media.
Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.
