Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman died a week after a road traffic collision on the A337 at Lymington.
At around 10.15pm on Tuesday, August 18, a red Citroen ZX Aura collided with a traffic island on the approach to the Ampress Park roundabout.
The vehicle, which was heading towards Lymington, struck a bollard and came to rest against a lamp post.
Both the front-seat passenger, 91-year-old Vera Page, from Worcester Place, Lymington, and the 90-year-old man driving were injured.
They were taken to Southampton General Hospital for precautionary treatment because of their age.
