They said they had heard nothing from police and felt like they were in ‘no man’s land’ regarding the crash.

Joanne said: “We’re trying to piece together what happened, and we’d urge anyone who knows anything to contact police.”

Christine said: “She’s in a bad way in hospital and she hasn’t been able to tell us anything because she’s been dosed up with morphine. We’ve not heard anything from the police and we feel like we’re stuck in no man’s land.”
