A 77-year-old woman who died after being knocked over by a van in Northumberland has been named.

Pedestrian Victoria Blair was hit by a VW Crafter vehicle at a car park in Holme Terrace, Haltwhistle, shortly before 14:45 GMT on 27 January.

She was taken to hospital but died on 3 February.

Northumbria Police said her family were "understandably devastated by this tragedy" and were being provided with support.
