Police renew appeal after pensioner dies following collision

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

Officers are continuing to appeal for information following a now-fatal collision between a car and pedestrian in Failsworth.

A woman (90), was struck by a reversing vehicle on Albert Street at around 3pm on Wednesday, January 7.  

She was rushed to hospital in a serious condition, where she sadly later died from her injuries yesterday (January 13). 

A man, aged 37, who was arrested on suspicion of driving offences has since been released on police bail. 

As officers progress their investigation, the Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are continuing to appeal for information as they continue with their work. 

This includes anyone who believes they saw the vehicle driving before the collision, witnessed the incident itself, or have dashcam footage or CCTV of the incident. 

You can contact police via 101 or the Live Chat service at gmp.police.uk, quoting log 1936 of 07/01/26. 

Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
