"I am now appealing directly to anybody who was driving in this location, between Beverley Road, Ferensway, Spring Bank or Freetown Way on Wednesday 29 November, between 19:00 and 20:00, who has dashcam or information to please contact us."
In a statement, Mr Ibbitson's family said: "Tony was loved by so many people; he will never be forgotten.
