A heartbroken daughter has said she will never give up on her mum three years on from her tragic death. Sheila Duffy died aged 60 weeks after being knocked down by a lorry as she returned home from the GP in 2019.

Ms Duffy was hit by a lorry as she crossed the entrance to Howarth Timber on Milnrow Road, Rochdale, on the morning of August 6. She sustained multiple injuries and severe grazing and was rushed to Manchester Royal Infirmary for treatment.

Just under two weeks later the great-grandmother developed sepsis and deteriorated rapidly, dying on August 20.

The driver of the lorry, Jordan Devine, said he did not see Sheila as she crossed the entrance, and was found not guilty of causing death by careless driving by a jury in September last year.

An inquest into Sheila’s death has now been held at Rochdale Coroners’ Court with assistant coroner Michael Salt concluding: “She would not have died if not for the injuries sustained in the collision.” Although it would be a sepsis infection that would ultimately end her life.
