A young woman died after being hit by a car while sat in the road, an inquest heard. Antonia St Louis, 27, suffered 'unsurvivable injuries' after the crash on Manchester Road, Ashton-under-Lyne, in the early hours of November 28, 2020.
An inquest at South Manchester Coroners' Court heard Ms St Louis and a friend were walking along the road near Snipe Retail Park before they crossed. They stopped in the middle of the three lanes, with CCTV footage showing Ms St Louis then sitting on the floor.
She was hit by a Volkswagen Golf being driven by a man at around 3.40am. No charges were brought against the driver, who stayed on the unlit road to assist police. Ms St Louis died at the scene, the court heard.
