Police name mother killed in hit-and-run e-bike crash

Alana Armstrong, 25, was riding on the back of the bike on Tuesday evening after being followed by a dark-coloured 4x4 car, Derbyshire Police said.

After the car rammed into the bike, causing the rider and passenger to fall off, the vehicle left the scene without stopping. Ms Armstrong, from Tibshelf, was pronounced dead at the scene on Batley Lane, Pleasley. The rider of the bike, a man in his twenties, was taken to hospital where his leg was amputated below the knee.

Chief Superintendent Dave Kirby said: “Alana was just 25 – and a mum to a six-year-old boy. Her little boy, along with her wider family, will never get the chance to see her again, hug her again, spend Christmas together, or celebrate all those milestones. My thoughts, as well as those of the whole force and community, are with them at this time.”
