Greater Manchester Police previously said its investigation had suggested the woman was injured as she crossed Moss Bank Way at the junction with Hill View Road.

It’s then thought a driver struck her as they turned left out of Hill View Road on to Moss Bank Way.

Police say they are looking for the driver of a silver or grey-coloured SUV, who failed to stop and drove westbound on Moss Bank Way following the incident.
