Tributes have been paid to a woman who died in hospital a week after being hit by a car she had been travelling in.

June Holloway and three other women were injured when their Vauxhall Mokka rolled into them after they had got out to inspect it.

The incident happened on Wednesday, January 10, in the Broomhouse area of Edinburgh.

Police Scotland has now confirmed the 60-year-old died on Thursday at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary as a result of her injuries.

A 59-year-old suffered serious injuries, while an 81-year-old and 58-year-old received minor injuries.

Ms Holloway's family statement said: We are heartbroken at the loss of our beloved sister and auntie.

June's death has come as a complete shock to us all and we will miss her greatly.

We would like to thank the wonderful NHS staff, other emergency services and neighbours who worked so hard to try and save her life.

We'd also like to thank everyone for their support and kind messages over the past week, including Reverend Michael Mair of St David's Broomhouse Parish Church.''

Sgt Kos Papakyriakou, of Edinburgh's Road Policing Unit, added: Our thoughts remain with June's family as they continue to come to terms with their loss during this very sad time.

Our investigation into the collision is ongoing and we'd urge anyone who may have witnessed this, and has not already spoken to officers, to get in touch with us as soon as possible.'
