Span Carr: Police seek driver after crash killed mum and son

Stephen Boyack and Angela Boyack were from South Shields

Police investigating a crash that killed a mother and her son are trying to trace the driver of a car that was seen in the area at the time.

Angela Boyack died at the scene of the crash in Span Carr in Derbyshire, while her son Stephen Boyack died later in hospital.

Joshua Hill has since appeared in court accused of causing death by dangerous driving.

But police believe the driver of a blue Jaguar estate may help their inquiry.

The blue Jaguar is thought to have a private registration plate

Ms Boyack, who was 59, and her son, who was 22, were travelling in a Hyundai where it collided with a black BMW on 9 December.

The crash happened at about 10:20 GMT on the A632 Chesterfield Road.

Police said the driver they wanted to speak to was travelling on the same road at about 10:18.

They also want to speak to any motorists who were overtaken by or saw a black BMW X3 when they were travelling on Whitecoats Lane and Matlock Road out of Chesterfield, through or towards Walton, shortly after 10:00.

Remanded in custody

Mr Hill was arrested two days after the crash, on 11 December.

He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, causing death by driving while unlicensed/uninsured, failing to stop after an accident, and failing to report an accident.

The 27-year-old, of Wheata Road, Sheffield, appeared at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court on 12 December and was remanded in custody to a future date.

A 40-year-old man has also been arrested in connection with the collision, and has been released on bail as investigations continue.
