The family of a woman who died after being hit by a car have paid tribute to her and said they “cannot put into words” how much she would be missed.

Ruth Hurd, 84, died following a road traffic collision in Brough on Monday, November 9, 2026.

At around 4.50pm, a blue Volkswagen Polo was being driven along Cave Road before a collision occurred with a pedestrian at the junction of Brantingham Road.

Ruth's family said: "Ruth was a much loved person who throughout her life loved walking and being outdoors.

"We cannot put into words how much Ruth will be missed by all who knew her.

"We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the first responders who attended the initial scene, as well as the staff at Hull Royal Infirmary for their exceptional and dignified care. In particular, we give thanks to the team in the Intensive Care Unit who supported Ruth during her final hours."

Ruth’s family are being supported by specially trained officers and have asked for their privacy to be respected at this time.

Officers continue to appeal for any further information to assist with their ongoing enquiries.

Enquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances around the collision, and anyone who witnessed the incident, has dashcam footage, or was in the area between 4.45pm and 5pm, is urged to contact Humberside Police on non-emergency number 101, quoting log 365 of November 9, 2026.
