An 88-year-old grandmother has been mowed down and killed by a callous hit-and-run driver.
Mary Elizabeth Humpherson, known to her friends as Betty, died after being ploughed into by a silver Ford at lunchtime on Friday.
Eyewitnesses said the vehicle was speeding when it struck the pensioner and drove away leaving her for dead in the gutter.
Police and emergency services attended the scene on Birmingham Road, in Great Barr, Birmingham, following the collision at around midday.
