The 76-year-old woman injured in a pedestrian-motor vehicle accident in Wanganui's Victoria Ave on Friday afternoon has died in hospital.
She was on foot when the accident happened at 4.35pm outside The Mill Liquorsave and opposite Wanganui's New World Supermarket. The weather was fine and Victoria Ave was busy. She suffered serious head injuries, while the driver of the vehicle was unhurt.
The woman was taken to Wanganui Hospital, where family and friends were able to spend time with her before she died.
Police have named her as Margaret Pointon.
They are keen to hear from any witnesses and also from anyone who saw the woman or knew her movements before the accident.
People in the area at the time had little to tell the Chronicle. One saw the woman lying in the road and others were only aware of the accident when police and ambulance arrived.
Anyone with information is asked to ring Constable David Sheild on 349 0060.
