THE family of a Lymington pensioner who was killed in a fatal collision in the town have spoken of their “profound sadness” at her death.

Police are investigating the incident, which took place on Milford Road on Tuesday just before 2pm, and involved a blue Vauxhall Meriva.

Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, Dianne Roebuck died at the scene.

In a statement her family said: "It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Dianne, who died unexpectedly on the 27th August 2024 at the age of 77.

"She will be sadly missed by her husband, daughters, grandchildren and other members of her family."
