The A4020 High Street is shut down in both directions between Acton Lane and The Vale. Emergency services rushed to Birkbeck Road around 4 AM on December 8 after reports of the chaos.
When they arrived, they found a man injured, but sadly, he passed away shortly after. A few others were also hurt in the incident.
Traffic is a mess in the area, with congestion stretching back to Horn Lane. It’s really slow for anyone trying to divert from High Street towards the A40 at Gypsy Corner.
The police have said there will be a strong presence in the area as they work on their investigation. They’ve set up a large crime scene, which is why the road closures are in place.
They understand this is a hassle for local residents and businesses, but they need to secure evidence. If anyone has information, they’re encouraged to reach out to the police or Crimestoppers anonymously.
The Metropolitan Police is expected to provide updates as the situation develops.
