>At some point in the race, they struck an 87-year-old woman named Claire Menagh, who was walking in front of the building and, according to the complaint, was “seriously and severely injured,” suffering a hip fracture that required surgery. She died three months later of unrelated causes.

If she was 87 and fractured her hip, it's unlikely it was healed in 3 months, and she was probably bed-bound the whole time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_fracture

The prognosis for elderly people with hip fractures is surprisingly poor - an uncle of mine died that way last year. There's almost no way the fracture would not have directly caused or contributed to her death in that time frame.
