The elderly woman, 84, was taken to Glan Clwyd Hospital for treatment following the single vehicle accident on Bagillt High Street in Flintshire.
North Wales Live reported the road was partially blocked in both directions following the collision near a church just before midday. North Wales Police later confirmed her death at around 4.15pm.
The force released the following statement: “Following a single vehicle RTC (road traffic collision) on High Street, Bagillt, earlier today, we can sadly confirm that an 84-year-old woman has died.
