Help us with an appeal for witnesses - Eilidh

Done on FB

DFP - done already, still no good, all the cameras are capturing the pavements and not the roads, the traffic cameras still aren't working there.

CCTV everywhere seems to be a myth, I have the same problem. There was no 'official' CCTV of my RTA. However I was able to obtain from a local petrol station which whilst not showing the impact footage which did show the truck pass me and the speed of the 2 parties just prior to the collision. Not much but i'm hoping it could help - my case is ongoing 15 months later..

done on my fb, will do again when off my front page

Condolences from my FB friends to be passed on. Unfortunately no info.

I spoke to the guy in the video shop next to the site (I sometimes rent kit from there) who runs it but he didn't see anything.

added, hope you get the info you need

Eilidh's accident has been mentioned on BBC Breakfast a few times this morning. They said that a witness has not been found yet. Hopefully someone comes forward after seeing it. Fingers crossed.

This may seem like an inappropriate question (I will delete it if it is) but what did the driver of the lorry have to say?

This whole story has really touched me. I can't imagine what it is like to lose a loved one in these circumstances. Velcro I wish you all the luck in the world with trying to find out what happened. I'm updating my facebook today.

Here is the BBC news page (posted today) relating to the investigation:

and the video report here:

ehren - the driver said he didn't see Eilidh and he was checking his mirrors, he only stopped as he heard something go under his truck.

thanks. g

Witness appeal to be on LCC web-site, Facebook, and Twitter soon.

good luck velcro.

have you tried jim fitzpatrick mp - minister for road safety.

maybe he can lean on police / transport authority / local authorities re cctv.

i have been past a couple of times but i have not noticed any police appeal for witnesses sign ?

Good luck Giles. i don't have the twitter stuff but let me know if you need feet on the street

Or the MP for either Eilidh's constituency, or for the one in which she was killed. But I'm not sure that this is the sort of thing MPs would normally be able to do much about.

Meetings with Jim Fitzpatrick ongoing:
