An elderly pedestrian has died after a collision in a car park.

“Our inquiries are ongoing and I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the crash and has not yet spoken to police to contact us.

“The pedestrian had driven a red Ford Fiesta car to the area and we would ask anyone who saw this car and the Civic prior to the crash to get in touch.”
