RARE PHOTOS: Sadness in sutton street as woman dies after falling off mobility scooter | Rare Historical Photos

People in an area of Sutton have spoken about the "tragic" death of a woman in her sixties who fell from her mobility scooter into the road. Nottinghamshire Police says the woman was riding along Alfreton Road, just before 11am on Friday (May 5), when she fell near the junction with Willowbridge Lane.

Police say she fell into the carriageway, leaving her with a head injury, and she died later that day after being taken to hospital. A police investigation is ongoing and people living in the area have been expressing their shock at the incident.

Joe Mantle, 39, who has lived on Alfreton Road, Sutton-in-Ashfield, for nine years, said: "It is tragic. I was actually at work when it happened, but I got a message from someone saying there was something going off down our end of the road.
