The 60-year-old woman was struck as she walked along Temple Street in Lower Gornal just after 7.20am today.
PC Adam Green, from the collision investigation unit, said: "We are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed this, there may have been people on their way to work who may have seen what happened.
"Enquiries are ongoing to establish exactly what has happened and anyone with information is asked to contact the force’s collision investigation unit on 101."
£1m Repairs Project To Begin In Chesire
A £1 million repairs project at junction 22 of the M6 at Winwick in Cheshire will begin next Friday (7 November).
The Highways Agency is carrying out wear and tear repairs to the bridge structures which support the junction roundabout above the motorway carriageway.
All the repairs, which will be completed ahead of the Christmas break, will be done overnight.
Highways Agency project manager Mark Mosley said: "This is routine work to repair the reinforced concrete bridge piers and keep this busy junction in good shape. To minimise inconvenience to drivers we are restricting work to overnight periods but for safety reasons drivers travelling through the junction under the roundabout bridges will find a temporary 50mph speed limit and narrowed lanes."
Balfour Beatty Wins £9.5m Contract
Derby City Council has awarded Balfour Beatty a £9.5 million contract.
The firm has been appointed to build the T12 Derby Link Road.
Involving the construction of a new, approximately 2.4km long single carriageway between Wilmore Road and Holmleigh Way, the scheme will also include the creation of two bridges spanning Cuttle Brook and the associated drainage and service works.
The link road will provide access to development plots in Derby’s new high tech business centre, known as Derby’s Global Technology Cluster, providing valuable regeneration and investment opportunities in the area, including up to 8,000 new jobs.
Balfour Beatty has worked closely with Derby City Council over the last year to ensure the on-going viability of the scheme by reviewing value engineering options to maximise their budget and funding streams. During this process, Balfour Beatty reviewed the geotechnical design, generating significant improvements, as well as refining the proposed drainage strategy.
