A woman has died after her 17-year-old learner driver daughter accidentally reversed a car into her.


Lauren Duke was said to be hysterical after the collision


Sue Duke, 41, was helping her daughter Lauren back into a parking space of the social club where she worked in Cuxton, Kent, when she was crushed against another vehicle.

She suffered serious head injuries after being hit by the Ford Ka on Monday.

The mother of three was airlifted to a London hospital where she died on Wednesday night with her family around her.

One witness, who declined to be named, told Kent Online: "At first we didn't realise Sue had been hit, we just saw the damage to the car. But then we saw Sue lying on the ground.

"She had been hit on the head, there was blood everywhere. It was catastrophic. We just tried to help her and comfort her before an ambulance got there.

"The girl was hysterical, she was screaming and crying. It was so awful. We tried to calm her down but she was so upset."

No arrests have been made and witnesses are asked to call Kent Police on 01622 798538.
