POLICE investigating a collision near Highampton in which an elderly couple died last Monday (February 6) are trying to locate two people that stopped at the scene to render assistance but had not given the officers their details. It is possible they hold important information about the collision but even if this is not the case officers still want to speak to them. The first is the driver of a red-cabbed tipper type lorry with a silver coloured body. The second is a white man, 5ft 9ins tall, about 50-years-old, ginger curly hair, wearing glasses, who may have been driving a small silver car. William Frederick Coyte, 73, and his wife Anita Coyte, 70, from Highampton died when their vehicle was in collision with another vehicle travelling in the opposite direction on the A3072 Hatherleigh side of Highampton, just before 4pm. Police are also trying to establish where the Coytes, who have no relatives locally, were from about 2pm on the day of the collision. Anyone with information is asked to contact MPC John Baldwin at the Launceston Traffic Centre on 08452 777444.
