The woman sadly passed away from her injuries yesterday evening.

A 33-year-old man from Liverpool has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless/inconsiderate driving. He remains in police custody.

We are appealing for any witnesses, CCTV, doorbell and dash camera footage which may assist the investigation.

Detective Sergeant Andy Roper, the Lead Investigating Officer for the investigation said: “Firstly, our thoughts are with the lady’s family during this tragic time and they are being supported by specially trained officers.
“Although we have arrested an individual, we are still appealing for information to help us find out the full circumstances of what happened. The area would have been busy with traffic and pedestrians at the time, so we are hoping that people can come forward with information, even if they believe it may be small or insignificant.

“I would appeal to any motorists who may have been driving on Catharine Street around this time and have a dash camera in their vehicle. I would be grateful if you could check your footage and contact our team as you may have inadvertently captured something of significance.
“If you witnessed this incident, captured it on dashcam or have any CCTV footage, please get in touch with our team."
