Police are appealing for witnesses and information after a woman died following a road traffic collision in Brixham.

The pedestrian, a local woman in her 60s, was sadly confirmed deceased at the scene. Her family has been informed and is being supported by officers.
Brewery Lane was closed for a period of time while police carried out a detailed investigation. Officers have thanked members of the public for their patience and cooperation during the road closure.
