“Elsie’s family, who live in Metheringham, are being supported by specially-trained officers and we ask that members of the public continue to respect their privacy at this incredibly difficult time.
“We continue to ask for help from anyone who may have been driving along the B1202 at a similar time to the incident, particularly if you witnessed or captured any footage of the incident itself or saw either a blue Kia Rio, a white Citroen Relay or any other vehicles along that road.
“Please get in touch if you think you can help and have not yet spoken with us.”
