An 87-year-old woman has died after being hit by a van in Bury.

At around 11:15 am last Tuesday (6th December) police were called to the scene on Walmersley Road. 

A Mercedes Sprinter van was travelling down the road when it collided with the woman close to the junction of Wolstenholme Avenue.

Emergency services attended the scene, and the driver remained to assist officers with the enquiries.

The 26-year-old man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving and has since been released under investigation. 

The woman died from her injuries at the weekend despite the best attempts of emergency services.

GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are appealing to anyone who may have seen the incident to get in touch to help with their investigation.

Officers are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have footage, including dashcam, mobile phone or CCTV/doorbell footage from the area in the moments leading up to and before the collision.

Anyone with information should contact police on 0161 856 4741 quoting incident 1115 of 06/12/22.

Alternatively, details can be passed via the LiveChat function at www.gmp.police.uk or anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
