A woman in her 60s was killed on Tuesday when she was hit by a car which did not stop

Detectives investigating a fatal collision in Colindale have made two arrests.

Two men – aged 18 and 19 – were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop. Both are currently in police custody.

This follows an incident in Grahame Park Way on Tuesday (25th) where a car was in collision with a female pedestrian.

Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, the woman – aged in her 60s – died at the scene.

Her family are being kept updated with the progress of this investigation and continue to be supported by specially trained officers.

The car involved did not stop but was later found abandoned in nearby Franco Avenue.

Metropolitan Police detectives are investigating the collision and are appealing for witnesses to come forward. They are keen to hear from anyone who saw the incident or anyone leaving the car in Franco Avenue, including road users who have camera footage, to get in contact.
