A woman in her 80's has died after an incident involving a vehicle in an Asda car park.

"Sadly, despite first aid being given by members of the public and treatment by air ambulance staff, the pedestrian died at the scene," the force said.

The driver of the vehicle - a man in his 70s - has spoken with officers. No arrests have been made.

The victim has not yet been formally identified but police said she is believed to be a local woman.
