Investigation Underway as Police Seek Witnesses
Detectives from the Met’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit have taken over, led by Detective Sergeant Rebecca Collens. She described the incident as “incredibly tragic” and urged witnesses to come forward.
“We are especially keen to speak to a woman who handed in the victim’s mobile phone after it fell during the collision. She may have witnessed the crash itself. If this is you, please come forward — you are not in any trouble but your information could be key to our investigation.”
“If you were driving in the area, please check your dashcam for footage that could help.”
