DERBYSHIRE: Woman dies after road crash

POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a 60 year-old woman died after she was involved in a road traffic collision between Baslow and Bakewell.

The woman had been driving a Volkswagen Golf along the A619, locally known as The Thirteen Bends, about 5.30pm, on Tuesday, April 16, when the collision happened with a Ford Transit van.
