The 47-year-old pedestrian was hit by a Vauxhall Corsa in High Street, Rishton, Lancashire, at about 17:50 GMT on Boxing Day.

The driver did not stop and the woman died at the scene. The car was later found abandoned in nearby Cliff Street.

Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact them. The Independent Police Complaints Commission has been informed.

Det Insp Warren Atkinson said: "We would ask anyone who witnessed the pursuit or who may be able to help us to identify the driver to contact us as we continue with our inquiries."
