AN elderly woman has died after she was struck by a car in Angus.
The collision, involving a Mercedes Benz A class car, happened in a parking area near to Teviot Place in Montrose, at about 4.35pm on Thursday February 8.
A 78-year-old woman was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee where she died three days later, on Sunday February 11.
No one else was injured in the incident.
Sergeant William Strachan of the Tayside Road Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the woman involved in the incident.
“Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and we would be keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision or who may have dashcam or private CCTV from the area.
“Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 3045 of February 9.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
