Usual timing here.

What's the betting the victim is young and male? :-|

And someone commenting on another news site obviously has their finger on the pulse of how the trade and nighttime economies work, or that people travel to and from work at irregular hours, or have to catch an early flight etc.

But which is quite amusing on one level, but these people could be councillors or involved with the criminal justice system in some shape or form, eg police or courts :-o

Hopefully CCTV at the end of Oakenhurst road or Blackburn College and dash cams will pick something up.

Taxis regularly travel around Blackburn all night. Sometimes I wander if the taxi driver at 3am is working or stalking someone?

No mention of the driver stopping or assisting the police :-k

Presumably fair to assume from the wording of the appeal that the driver either stopped at the scene or was subsequently traced. Sounds like they're just looking for witnesses and evidence rather than trying to identify the driver.
