No further action will be taken against the driver who hit a young woman with his car before she died at the scene of the crash.
Antonia St Louis, 27, was hit by a Volkswagen Golf on Manchester Road in Ashton-under-Lyne in the early hours of Saturday, November 28, 2021. She was tragically pronounced dead at the scene, after police officers found Miss St Louis lying in the road. A 28-year-old man who was travelling with Ms St Louis and was also hit by the vehicle was taken to hospital in a critical condition, but was discharged by the time the inquest opened in January of this year.
A 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by driving without due care and attention, but a pre-inquest review into Miss St Louis' death heard that the driver will no longer face any legal proceedings over the matter. Identified in a hearing at South Manchester's Coroner's Court as Mr Copland, the driver of the vehicle involved received confirmation from the Crown Prosecution Service that they will be taking no further action against him earlier this month
