A woman in her 80s has died after a car collided with shoppers in a Morrisons car park in Gosport, Hampshire. The incident occurred at around 12.05pm on Friday when a grey Kia Soul drove into the car park on Walpole Road, striking two pedestrians.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while a second shopper sustained minor injuries. The car also collided with several other parked and moving vehicles.
Footage and witness appeal
Footage shared by The News, a Portsmouth news outlet, shows a black car with a damaged front door surrounded by debris. Local councillor Lesley Meenaghan shared further photographs of ambulances and police cars outside the now cordoned-off supermarket.
“Serious Road Traffic Incident,” she said on Facebook. “Please avoid the area.”
Investigation underway
Police are reviewing CCTV of the incident. The force launched an appeal for witnesses on Friday, asking “anyone with relevant dash cam footage” to come forward. Morrisons declined to comment.
