THE elderly lady who tragically died after being struck by a motorcycle in Limavady has been named as Catherine Clayton.
Ms Clayton, who was in her 90s, was from the Drumrane Road on the outskirts of the town, where the collision happened last Thursday.
She is survived by her nieces and nephews, Richard, Marilyn, Juliet, Helen and Peter.
The motorcyclist was taken to hospital, where his condition was initially described as critical but it is understood to be in a stable condition.
Local DUP councillor Edgar Scott offered his sympathies to Ms Clayton’s relatives.
He said: “This was an awful tragedy for Ms Clayton’s family and for the local community as a whole.”
The crash happened shortly after 5.50pm on Thursday.
Police appealed to anyone in the area around that time who witnessed the incident or who has dashcam footage to contact them.
Ms Clayton was one of two pensioners to lose their lives as a result of a road traffic collision in the Causeway Coast and Glens Council area last weekend.
Gerald McElreavey (88) from Ballymoney passed away on Saturday from injuries he sustained in an accident the previous Monday.
The total number of people to lose their lives on the roads in the North of Ireland this year now stands at 41.
