It happened just before 3.45pm and a spokesperson for Leicestershire Police said: “Enquiries are continuing into the incident and anyone who may have witnessed what happened and hasn’t as yet contacted police is urged to get in touch.”

The area of Main Street outside the petrol station was closed for several hours while an investigation into the collision was carried out.
