The incident comes only one day after police and other emergency services locked down the nearby Wellington Street after an incident sparked a major response.
Dozens of emergency service vehicles were in attendance, including two fire trucks, two ambulance crews, and at least 15 police vehicles.
It was later confirmed that a woman had died after being hit by a car in Wellington Lane.
The 40-year-old woman had been dropped off in Wellington Lane prior to being struck by the vehicle.
Fire crews confirmed that they had been called to reports of a woman trapped under a vehicle.
Her death isn’t being treated as suspicious but a post-mortem will be carried out in due course.
