Police can confirm that a woman has died following a hit-and-run collision on the Dunhill Road, between Coleraine and Limavady, on Tuesday evening, 6th December.
Shortly after 7pm, police received a report from a passing motorist concerned for the safety of a female pedestrian walking on the Dunhill Road.
Officers attended and sadly located the body of a woman who, it is believed, was struck by a vehicle which has failed to remain at the scene.
The road was closed for a time as police conducted enquiries at the scene and has since reopened.
Efforts are ongoing to identify the vehicle involved.
Detective Inspector Peter MacCionaoith said:
"We would ask anyone who was travelling on the Dunhill Road on Tuesday evening at around 7pm to review any dash-cam footage they may have captured and call us in CID Coleraine on 101 with any information they have. The reference number is 1653 06/12/22.”
