Pedestrian dies following road traffic collision in Market Harborough

Posted on 11/11/08

Officers from Leicestershire Constabulary's Serious Collision Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses after a fatal road traffic collision in Market Harborough.

The collision occurred at about 9.25am yesterday (Monday November 10, 2008) at the mouth of the access road to the back of Marks and Spencer supermarket in the area where The Commons links Coventry Road and The Commons car park and involved a pedestrian and a blue Ford Focus.

The pedestrian, MsMary Ruth Chapman (100) from Market Harborough, Leicestershire received serious injuries and was taken to Kettering General hospital where she later died.

A 40-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the incident and has been released on police bail pending further enquiries.

Detective Constable Darren Symes-Goodman, who is investigating the collision, said:"At the time of the collision, the area was particularly busy with visitors to nearby shops. If you were in the area and witnessed this collision, we would urge you to get in touch.

"We are also keen to trace a doctor who assisted after the collision. They left the scene without leaving their details with officers and we are very keen to trace them as they could have information.

"The pedestrian was travelling from the direction of Marks and Spencer towards Coventry Road and the Focus was travelling from the direction of The Commons car park towards The Commons and Coventry Road. If you witnessed the collision or saw the vehicle or the pedestrian beforehand please get in touch."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact DC 515 Darren Symes-Goodman on Leicester (0116) 222 2222, follow the instructions to leave a message for a police officer and when prompted key in the officer's identification number 0515.
