A 27-year-old woman has died after being hit by a lorry on Battersea Bridge.

The collision occurred shortly before 7:55am on Thursday 10 August on the northside of the bridge.

She was pronounced dead at the scene and her family has been informed.

The driver of the lorry did not stop apparently unaware of what had happened. He was finally located in Fulham and was spoken to by the police but not arrested.

There was more traffic on the road at the time than normal during the summer holidays due to the closure of Wandsworth Bridge.

The investigation into the incident is being led by officers from the Met's Serious Collison Investigation Unit who are appealing for witnesses, information or dash-cam footage.

Any witnesses or anyone with any information is asked to call police on 020 8543 5157 or contact via Twitter @MetCC. Please quote CAD 1553/10Aug.

To give information anonymously contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.
