Our Crash Detectives need you!

Collision investigators are trying to source a specific model of car for their enquiries to allow them to reconstruct a collision which happened near Swansea in January.

If you’re the owner of a Chevrolet Captiva SUV then you might be able to assist with an ongoing investigation.

Forensic collision investigators, from the Joint Scientific Investigation Unit, are trying to source this model of car so they can reconstruct a collision.

A 40-year-old woman, later named as Tetiana Martynova, died in the collision which occurred on the A4067 Neath Road, Morriston on Wednesday 31 January at around 6.20pm.

Officers investigating the collision are looking for a 2012 and 2013 model of the Chevrolet Captiva SUV for the reconstruction with all the lights on the car to be in working order.

The date of when the car will be needed is not yet known but the reconstruction will take place in the early hours of the morning to recreate the conditions on the day of the collision.

A recovery agent will be able to collect the car for the reconstruction and then return it the following day, but it is worth nothing that it will only be driven a short distance and will not collide with anything.

PC Karl Painter, from the Gwent Forensic Collision Investigation Base said: "It is a very rare step for us to take to ask for the public's assistance in this way, but we're still working on piecing together what happened in the collision where Tetiana sadly lost her life.

“The reconstruction could provide us with vital understanding on how and why the collision occurred, and sourcing the correct car is a crucial element of that process.”

Anyone who has a Chevrolet Captiva SUV and is interested in helping our officers can call 101 or send us a direct message quoting log reference 2400036408 to register their information.
