Ms Goddard's next door neighbour Craig Tommis said at the time: "I heard a huge bang, it was that loud I thought two cars had collided.

"I ran outside and saw her lying in the middle of the road. I stood in the road to stop traffic until emergency services came.

"Her sister had just dropped her off across the road and she was crossing to get home.

"Her dog is Pekingese. Apparently she was carrying it when it happened because I heard yelping and it was lying next to the kerb.

"Her sister was still there when I went outside. I think she took the dog."
