Detectives from West Yorkshire Police's Major Collision Enquiry Team continued to appeal for information to help them trace Mr Martin.

Det Ch Insp James Entwistle said: "Now is clearly not a time for any misguided sense of loyalty to come above the needs of Ashton's heartbroken family."

Mr Kitchen-White's family said the teenager was "one in a million" and had been about to "embark on his journey to become a doctor at Leeds University".

Anyone who witnessed the collision or who may have relevant dashcam or mobile phone footage is asked to contact police.
