A woman has died after being hit by a van on a residential road in Wembley, and the driver has been arrested.
The collision happened on The Avenue at around 5.45pm on Monday, 10 November. Emergency services attended the scene, but the woman was pronounced dead despite the efforts of paramedics.
Her next of kin have been informed and are being supported by officers. The woman has not been named.
The driver of the van, a 45-year-old man, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving and driving without insurance. He has not been charged.
Detective Inspector Simon Ager, who is leading the Metropolitan Police investigation, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the woman who died at this extremely difficult time.”
“As we try to build up a full picture of the incident, we want to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the collision or has any relevant information, particularly anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage,” he added.
Anyone with information or footage that could assist police is asked to call 101, quoting CAD 5569/10NOV.
The investigation is continuing, and officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward as they piece together what happened on the road on Monday evening.
Wembley has seen a series of emergency incidents in recent days. Around 280 people were evacuated from a hotel in the area on Monday night after a fire broke out, and a man was arrested at Brent Civic Centre after allegedly threatening staff with a broken broom.
