Mr Hynd later died at the hospital on Monday September 23, police have confirmed.

“I’d like to thank everyone who has come forward with information so far. If anyone has information and has not already spoken to police, I’d urge them to get in touch. I’m particularly keen to hear from anyone with dashcam footage which may assist our inquiries.”
