The family of a 78-year-old woman who died after she was hit by a van in a supermarket car park have described her as “a beautiful soul taken from us too soon”.
Margaret Crichton, from Oldham, was struck by the Peugeot Expert van while walking back to her car outside Asda on Greenfield Lane in Shaw, Greater Manchester, on 18 December. She died at the scene.
Her family said she was a “dear sister, friend, aunt and great aunt” who would be “sadly missed by all who knew her”.
A 35-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving following the incident, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
