The incident occurred in Leighton Buzzard Road shortly before 1.15pm on Friday, June 28 and involved a pedestrian and a single-decker coach, travelling at low speed.

The pedestrian, a woman aged in her 80s, suffered a head injury and was taken to hospital. She died on Tuesday, July 9.

PC Carl Callan, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the lady who has sadly died at this difficult time.

“While we have already spoken to a number of people as part of our enquiries into the incident we would ask for further witnesses to come forward. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have captured dash cam footage of what happened.”
