Search: Learner driver death crash
A woman who was left fighting for life after being accidentally knocked down by her learner driver daughter has died in hospital.
The 41-year-old, named locally as Susan Duke, suffered serious head injuries when she was struck by daughter Lauren, 17, as she reversed in a Ford Ka.
Following the accident in the car park of a social club in Bush Road, Cuxton, Kent, at 11.20am on Monday, Mrs Duke was airlifted to a London hospital but died on Wednesday.
According to a witness, she was standing behind the car helping her daughter back into a parking space when she was crushed against another parked vehicle.
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. Kent Police's serious collision investigation unit appealed for witnesses to call them on 01622 798538.
