Six-year-old Indie Armstrong died after she was struck by Miriam Grace Patton's car at Nambour Mill Village Shopping Center on Queensland's Sunshine Coast on June 17
An elderly woman who had been charged in the death of a six-year-old schoolgirl "died from a broken heart" after she could no longer take the guilt and devastation she felt in the aftermath of the incident.
The 86-year-old, Miriam Grace Paton, had reversed her car into Indie Armstrong at Nambour Mill Village Shopping Center on Queensland's Sunshine Coast on June 17 when the six-year-old was crossing with her seven-year-old sister Lily and her 57-year-old grandmother Sandy Bampton. While all three sustained injuries in the accident, Indie would not survive.
