A woman has died after her car rolled back and knocked her over in the car park of a doctor's surgery, police have said.

The 73-year-old was killed in the car park of the Abbey Grange Medical Practice in Kirkstall, Leeds, shortly before 17:00 GMT on Wednesday, a West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said.

A Kia Picanto parked on a "slight slope" had rolled back and hit the woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene, they added.

Police have appealed for witnesses, or anyone with dashcam footage, to get in touch.
