Elderly woman, 90, dies after being hit by van in Scots town as police launch probe

A 90-year-old woman has died after she was hit by a van in Clackmannanshire yesterday.

The pensioner was struck by a van at around 4pm on Burgh Mews in Alloa.

Emergency services raced to the scene, however she was pronounced dead when they arrived.

Cops say the van fled prior to their arrival but both the driver and vehicle were traced nearby a short time later.

The road was closed for around four hours to allow investigations to be conducted.

Sergeant Jack Swindells of the Forth Valley Road Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the woman who sadly lost her life.

“Our enquiries are ongoing and I would ask anyone who saw what happened, and has not yet spoken to officers, to come forward.

“Anyone with any information or dashcam footage which may assist is asked to contact police on 101 quoting incident 2366 of 18 July, 2022.”
