Tribute paid to pedestrian killed in Chorley car park

A family have paid an emotional tribute to a ‘champion of people less fortunate’.

Elizabeth Rostron, 61, from Charnock Richard, very sadly died after a car collided with her in a car park on Keepers Wood Way, Chorley, last Tuesday (September 26).

In a loving tribute, her family said: “Elizabeth was a champion of people less fortunate, her greatest satisfaction in life came from fundraising and charitable causes.

“She was an amazing gentle person whose smile lit up a room and when Elizabeth spoke to someone she didn’t know, she still talked to them like a new best friend.

“Elizabeth was taken so tragically with so much life left to live. An irreplaceable part of our lives has gone forever.

“We have been deeply moved by the messages from friends and family relating to Elizabeth’s untimely passing.”

Another pedestrian -a woman in her 70s - who was injured in the same incident, remains in hospital.

Lancashire Police officers investigating the collision are continuing to appeal for information and witnesses.

Please contact 101, quoting log 0673 of September 26, 2023.
