The department issued a statement yesterday saying an accident between the vehicle operating as part of the International Stabilisation Force and the East Timorese pedestrian had occurred on December 18. First aid was given by Defence Force personnel, and the woman was taken to hospital with a broken leg and lacerations. An International Stabilisation Force medical officer visited the woman in Dili Hospital that afternoon, the statement said.
It was not until the medical officer visited the hospital on January 1, and inquired about the woman's condition, that it was advised the woman had died on the evening she was admitted.
It also said the International Stabilisation Force was conducting an internal investigation.
