Adjourning the inquest, he told Chesterfield coroners’ court: “Early reports suggest she was crossing the road with her son near a pedestrian crossing.

“Apparently the lights were on green for traffic and she has been struck by an oncoming vehicle which has thrown her into the air and she was pronounced deceased at the scene at 5.16pm.”

A Derbyshire police spokesperson said the injuries received by the second person involved, a 36-year-old man, are ‘not believed to be serious’.
