New call for road death witnesses

Ellen Hendry

Police have renewed their appeal for witnesses almost three weeks after an elderly widow died when she was struck by a car on a busy County Durham road.

Ellen Hendry, 81, was killed while trying to cross the A690 near her home in Brancepeth village on 12 November.

A police spokesman said they had only spoken to initial witnesses who made themselves known at the time.

He urged anyone else who had seen what happened and had not yet come forward to do so.

Mrs Hendry had just got off a bus and was making her way back to her sheltered accommodation in Russell Close when she was struck by a blue coloured Suzuki Swift.

The grandmother of three was pronounced dead at the scene.
