PC Martin Danks said: “I want to reach out to the public for any possible dash-cam footage people may have of this collision but to also thank those that stopped to assist before the emergency services arrived.
“The collision caused two of the vehicles to catch fire and I understand a good number of people stopped and assisted in getting those involved, some of whom were injured, out of the burning vehicles.
“Unfortunately, many who had done the good deed left before leaving their details, likely because they did not see the collision itself and thought their bit was done.
