Officers investigating a fatal collision in the Brierley area of Barnsley
are asking for anyone who saw the HGV pictured in the days leading up to the
collision to get in touch with them.

At around 1.40pm on Friday 14 September, a HGV, previously reported as
stolen, was travelling along Common Lane, towards Grimethorpe, when an
officer in a marked patrol car, travelling in the opposite direction, turned
around to follow the vehicle.

While on Common Road, the HGV was then involved in a collision with a
pedestrian, 58-year-old Jacqueline Wileman, and two parked cars. Mrs Wileman
was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

The HGV then travelled on to Park View where it collided with the front of a
house on the road, coming to a stop.

A mandatory referral has been made to the Independent Officer for Police
Conduct.

Police have now issued an image of the HGV and want to hear from anyone who
saw it on the day of the collision, or in the days prior to the collision
occurring.

Did you see it parked up? If so, where was it? Officers are also keen to
hear from anyone who has dashcam or mobile phone footage showing the
vehicle, in particular around the time of the collision.

If you can help, please call 101 quoting incident 266 of 14 August 2018. You
can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

If you have any footage, please send it to
enquiries@southyorks.pnn.police.uk.
