Fresh appeal to find key witnesses in fatal Halifax car collision

The Major Collison and Enquiry Team are making a fresh appeal for information into a fatal road traffic collision on Aachen Way in Halifax on Saturday 29 September, at about 9.07pm.

They would like to speak to the occupants of one car in particular who they think witnessed the incident in which 41-year-old Robert Provis died after being struck by a black Renault Megane car.

The car containing potential witnesses was stationary at traffic lights at King Cross and then turned onto Skircoate Moor Road.

It was passed by the Megane and officers believe the occupants may well have seen the collision in front of it between the Megane and Mr Provis before observing the Megane as it left the scene.

The male driver of the Megane was later arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and was released under investigation.

Sergeant Carl Quinn of the Major Collision and Enquiry Team, said: “We are continuing to investigate this fatal collision and are very keen to speak with anyone who has not yet spoken with MCET officers who are leading the enquiry.

“Persons who we would like to speak with in particular include the occupants of a car stationary at traffic lights at King Cross who may have seen what took place.

“I would ask them or anyone who has information, but whom may not yet have spoken to ourselves at MCET to come forwards.

“This could include persons who perhaps provided details to attending officers at the scene or on the phone which we may not have been forwarded to the investigation team.

“Anyone who has information is asked to contact the Major Collision Enquiry Team on 101.”
