Hit-and-run victim struck by four drivers

FOUR drivers ran over a woman and did not stop in a multiple hit-and-run, police have said.

The woman was killed after she crossed the road at a pedestrian crossing in south London yesterday morning and was hit by an HGV, police believe. The driver did not stop.

Shortly afterwards, she was struck by another lorry and two cars – but again none of the drivers stopped.

The woman is believed to be in her late 20s or early 30s. Police had not yet identified her last night and were attempting to trace her next of kin.

Police were called by the ambulance service to the scene near Tulse Hill station at 6.48am yesterday. She was treated at the scene in Norwood Road, but was pronounced dead at 7.21am.

Acting Det Sgt Alastair Middleton said: “I am appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision and the moments afterwards to contact us. I would also urge the drivers of all four vehicles to come forward.”

Helen Hayes, the local Labour MP, said on Twitter: “My thoughts with family and friends of victim.”
