A delivery driver arrested following the death of a pensioner in Bangor has been released under investigation.

An inquest has opened into the death of Susan Hofsteed after she was hit by a Tesco van on Garth Hill after just after midday on Monday lunchtime.

A post-mortem examination found the 79 year-old suffered severe head and brain trauma - she was pronounced dead at the scene by a doctor around an hour after the collision.

North West Wales coroner Kate Robinson adjourned the hearing in Caernarfon until a later date while police enquiries continue.

A 33 year-old man questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving has been released under investigation.
