A woman in her 60s was killed when she was knocked down in a supermarket car park.

Lancashire Police said she was pronounced dead at the scene, in the first floor car park of Morrisons in Blackburn.

A spokesman said officers found the woman at about 14:28 BST after reports of a pedestrian being hit by a black Honda Jazz.

An area of the carpark was closed off for investigation.

Footage appeal

A spokeswoman said officers are appealing for anyone with video footage of the incident, but warned against sharing it on social media.

She added: "We are aware of people at the scene filming the aftermath of the collision on their mobile phones.

"We would ask that they do not circulate that footage as it would be incredibly upsetting for the woman’s loved ones."
