Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses, information and dash cam footage following a fatal collision in St Albans.

The incident occurred on Hatfield Road at the junction with Sutton Road just before 12.20pm on Friday 1 December, where it is reported that a white Renault and a pedestrian were in collision.

The pedestrian, a woman aged in her 70s, who was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries, sadly passed away in hospital on Sunday 31 December 2023.

“We are investigating the circumstances of the collision and as part of that I am renewing our appeal for information.
