Sergeant Andrew Ferguson, of Northumbria Police’s motor patrols department, said: “My thoughts, and those of my colleagues, are first and foremost with Victoria’s family and friends.

“Victoria’s family are understandably devastated by this tragedy and we are continuing to offer them support at this difficult time.

“We would continue to ask that the public respect their privacy as an investigation into the circumstances around the collision continues.

“While we have spoken with a number of witnesses to date, we would still ask that anyone who saw what happened, who has not yet spoken to police, to get in touch.”

Specialist officers continue to support Victoria's family.
