The family was reportedly walking along a street in nearby Georgioupolis on Friday afternoon when a driver lost control of his car and ran over the woman and her 54-year-old sister-in-law, local reports said.

The woman was injured in the head but was picked up by an ambulance while still conscious.

A few hours later she died in Rethymnon Hospital in the town of Rethmino.

The sister-in-law had severe abrasions to her arms and legs.

The car ended up in a field with one image of the scene showing a damaged silver Peugeot next to an olive tree.
