"Two lovely ladies stopped to sit with my mum and stayed until I arrived and until mum was taken via ambulance," she said.

"They were so kind and mum appreciated that they stopped to help.

"A man in high vis clothes put on safety hats and blocked the road very quickly. I think it was a truck driver who came across the scene straight after mum was hit. We are very grateful he did because it is a busy road and that provided protection for mum while she lay in the middle of the road."

The family said they were overwhelmed with gratitude for the care and support their mother received.

Bendigo Police are not investigating the incident further.
