A woman has died days after she was left fighting for life following an alleged hit-and-run in east London.
Two women were found critically injured after they were hit by a red Range Rover while crossing the eastbound carriageway of Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, early on Sunday.
Police were called at about 5.45am and London Ambulance Service paramedics rushed both women, aged 42 and 29, to hospital.
The 42-year-old woman died in the early hours of Thursday and the 29-year-old remains in a critical condition.
The car did not stop at the scene but was traced to an address in Walthamstow.
Two people - a 28-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman - were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.
They have both been bailed to dates in late March.
A Met Police spokeswoman said: “Next of kin have been informed. We await formal identification.
“A post-mortem examination will be held in due course.”
