Police are appealing for witnesses following a fatal road traffic collision in Leeds.
At about 3.30pm yesterday a Volkswagen was travelling north along Church Avenue, in Horsforth, when it failed to negotiate the bend and was involved in a collision with a woman pedestrian on the offside footpath.
The 66-year-old local woman was given emergency treatment at the scene but was pronounced dead a short time later.
She had been pushing a 10-month old baby girl in a pram at the time of the collision. The child was taken to Leeds General Infirmary with minor injuries.
A dog that the woman was walking was also injured and was taken to vets for treatment.
The driver of the VW, a 43-year-old man, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
He was later released under investigation.
