Police were called shortly before 6:25am on Friday, May 24 by the ambulance service to the report of a collision between a woman pedestrian and a Peugeot Elddis motorhome in the car park of the Morrisons supermarket on Blackpool Road, Preston.

The woman, who can now be named as Angela Booth, aged 39, from Preston, was taken to Royal Preston Hospital with significant injuries.

A Home Office post mortem examination revealed the cause of death as multiple injuries.

Police have urged anyone who may have seen the vehicle during or in the lead up to the incident to come forward.

Detective Chief Inspector Richard McCutcheon from Preston Police said: “Tragically the woman involved in this collision has now died and my thoughts remain with her loved ones.

"I would appeal for anyone who either witnessed this collision, and who has yet to speak to police, or anyone who has seen the vehicle in the area beforehand, to get in touch.”

In a tribute, Angela’s daughter and wider family said: “’My mum was such a beautiful young soul, she’ll be loved and missed forever.”

A 74-year-old man from Wigan was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and attempted murder. He remains on police bail pending further enquiries.
