A student who died after being hit by a lorry in Coventry has been named by police.

Maggie Cheung suffered serious head injuries in the crash in Lynchgate Road, Cannon Park, at 12.45pm on Tuesday and died a few hours later in hospital.

The 23-year-old international student from Hong Kong was reading a masters degree in economics at the University of Warwick.

Police have worked alongside the Chinese Embassy and the university to locate relatives who have now arrived in the UK.

Officers are still asking for witnesses to the collision to come forward so they can piece together the circumstances of the tragic incident.

Sergeant Neil Higgins, from the force’s collision investigation unit, said: “The collision happened during the university’s lunch hour and close to a local shopping centre and we are sure that there are people who may have witnessed what happened.”

Witnesses or anyone with information is urged to call police on 101.
