Her untimely death eight days after being involved in a car crash highlights the often invisible toll that accidents can exact on vulnerable road users – particularly the elderly.
Murray's accident occurred on Wildwood Road, adjacent to Hampstead Heath, where she was dazzled by vehicle headlights and collided with two stationary vehicles.
