“The hurt and loss each of these families are feeling is clear from their tributes and we have specially trained officers supporting them however we can.
“I would also like to recognise the efforts of the police and firefighters who have worked so hard following this collision and who have gone about a really difficult job with the utmost skill and professionalism.
“While we have investigated this crash very thoroughly, if anyone does have any information which they feel could be relevant to our enquiries, please do get in touch.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact us via the online reporting centre or by calling 101, referencing Operation Loddon.
