A woman aged in her 80s has died in hospital after being struck by a vehicle last week in County Down.

Police said they received a report at about 17:30 GMT on Thursday evening of a collision involving a female pedestrian and a white Mercedes in the Circular Road area of Newtownards.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said officers attended the scene, along with colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS), and the woman was taken to hospital for treatment for serious injuries.

In a statement on Tuesday, the PSNI said the woman had since "sadly passed away as a result of those injuries".
