POLICE have made a fresh appeal for witnesses of a crash which killed an elderly couple in April.

Krikor Tidanian, 80, and his wife Aprine, 76, both of Neasden, were killed when their white Mercedes was involved in a collision with a lorry on the eastbound carriageway of the A40, near to the Polish War Memorial in South Ruislip.

Police believe that Mr and Mrs Tidanian's car had broken down on April 15 just before midnight, and the lorry crashed into it as they waiting for assistance on the hard shoulder.

Ambulance crews treated the couple, but they were pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the lorry was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, and later bailed to return to a west London police station in August pending further enquiries.

Post-mortems at Uxbridge Mortuary on April 19 gave the causes of death as multiple injuries.

Sergeant Cheryl Frost, from the Collision Investigation Unit based at Alperton Traffic Garage, is asking anyone who can assist to call the witness appeal line on 020 8998 5319.
