We are appealing for witnesses and information following the death of an elderly woman in a road traffic collision in Rotherham.

On Wednesday (22 January) at 8.02pm, we were called to reports of a single vehicle road traffic collision on Woodhouse Green in Thurcroft.

It is reported that a pedestrian and a silver Ford Transit were involved in the collision.

The pedestrian, an 84-year-old woman, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. Sadly, the woman later died in hospital as a result of her injuries.

Her family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

We are now asking for any witnesses to the collision or any motorists in the area around the time of the incident with dashcam or CCTV footage to come forward.
