Two people have been arrested after a woman was killed in a hit and run crash.
Katherine West was hit by a black Peugeot 3008 as she crossed the road in Hindley, Wigan, on November 5 last year. The vehicle failed to stop following the crash on Ladies Lane at around 9.40pm.
The 59-year-old died of her injuries six weeks later. Greater Manchester police this morning (August 31) arrested a 31-year-old man and 26-year-old woman over her death. A 32-year-old man was arrested after her death and released under investigation, police said at the time.
PC Phil Drummond of GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit is appealing to the community for their help. He said: “While arrests have been made, we are keen to hear from people who witnessed what happened, has dash cam footage, or has any information on what happened, to contact us - you can do so in confidence.”

“This occurred on Bonfire Night, in a busy area which may help jog some people’s memories. We are also appealing to garages and body repair companies who may have repaired or been approached to repair a black Peugeot 3008 with front end damage, to get in touch.”
In December, the family released a heart-breaking tribute. They said: “For six weeks, Katherine fought every step of the way, but unfortunately, due to the horrific injuries she suffered, her battle came to an end and she has gained her angel wings.
"We will forever remember her for her kind, caring, funny, crazy, witty ways. She had the most wicked sense of humour, even to the end. Not just an great mum to our three amazing children, she was 'mum' to many more and a loving nana to all her beautiful grandchildren.
“We will never forget you and your memory will live on through us all. RIP beautiful angel, fly high."
