“There was some vehicle debris at the scene, although we cannot determine if this is connected or not at this time.

“I am urging anybody who was on The Ring at around 11.10pm last night and witnessed anything, to contact police.

“Similarly, if anybody has dash-cam footage of around this time, please can you check it and contact us if you have any informatio­n.
