Woman struck by car dies

An 85-year-old woman has died after she was struck by a car in Woy Woy.

The woman was in her vehicle in the car park of a car dealership on Charlton St, Woy Woy, on Wednesday, May 2, when she got out of the car to allow a 72-year-old man to reverse it for her.

As the man got into the car, it suddenly reversed, knocking the woman to the ground.

It then came to a stop wedged between two parked cars.

Ambulance paramedics attended and the woman was treated on scene before being airlifted to Royal North Shore Hospital where she died.

Police from Brisbane Water Police District are investigating the incident and a report will be prepared for the Coroner.
