At around 2:30pm on Tuesday (15 June), police were called to Tesco Extra on Central Parkway to a report of a driver colliding with a steel structure.

A woman in her 90s was taken to hospital where she sadly later died.

Sergeant Philip Shaw of GMP's Serious Collision and Investigation Unit said: "This is an incredibly sad event and our deepest condolences go out to the family of the lady who passed away.

"This took place in a very public space and we are working hard to establish the circumstances leading up to this collision. We are particularly keen to ascertain actions leading up to the event.

"If you were in the area around this time and saw anything, or have a dash-cam in your car, please do get in touch. The smallest amount of information can lead to breakthroughs and progress in our enquiries."
