Huge £20,000 reward offered for information on horror hit-and-run death of mum, 25, killed in Land Rover crash
A HUGE £20,000 reward has been offered for information on a horror hit-and-run that killed a mum.
Alana Armstrong, 25, died at the scene of the smash in Pleasley, Derbyshire, on November 26, when she was knocked off an e-bike.
A dark Land Rover Discovery followed two electric bikes before ramming one of them – causing the rider and passenger to fall off, say cops.
The car then drove off from the scene without stopping in an alleged hit-and-run.
Alana, who had a six-year-old son, was riding pillion on the bike and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Cops are now offering a £20k reward for anyone with information.
Detective Inspector Steve Shaw, said: “Over the weekend we have received significant information from the public that has greatly assisted our enquiries and I would like to thank everyone who has come forward.
“Today independent charity Crimestoppers has offered an enhanced reward of £20k and I would urge anyone with information to come forward, whether to the force or Crimestoppers to help us find the driver of the Land Rover.
“I know there are people in and around the Pleasley and wider Mansfield areas that have information that can help – and you can do so anonymously through Crimestoppers.”
On Friday, a woman in her 30s was arrested in connection with the incident but has since been bailed.
Over the weekend, Derbyshire Police also located the offending vehicle, a blue Land Rover Discovery – which is now being forensically examined.
It is believed a man was driving the car while a woman sat in the front passenger seat.
The rider of the bike, a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital where he had to have his leg amputated below the knee.
He currently remains in hospital.
