An Indian-origin junior doctor was killed after being hit by a car as she crossed the road at a pedestrian crossing in London on her way to work.
Dr Jasjot Singhota was knocked over near her home in south London and rushed to King's College Hospital nearby.
Surgeons tried to save the 30-year-old for eight hours before she was pronounced dead from internal bleeding and head injuries last week.
Her family today appealed for anyone who had witnessed the collision to come forward.
"We're at this point of absolute desperation. We need to know what happened to her," her sister Neha told 'Evening Standard'.
As well as pursuing a medical career, Singhota was a pianist and netball player.
As per her wishes, her organs were donated and her liver and pancreas have already helped save the lives of critically ill patients.
Singhota had studied medicine and physiology at University of Edinburgh and was working at Guy's and St.Thomas' Hospital in London.
