Police are desperately urging anyone with information to come forward
A manhunt is underway after a moped made off from the scene of a fatal crash. Police raced to North Pole Road, Ladbroke Grove, at about 1.15am this morning to reports of a man seriously injured.
The e-bike cyclist, 24, was pronounced dead at the scene, and his family have been informed. He is yet to be named or pictured.
North Pole Road has now been closed for coming up to 14 hours as forensics meticulously comb the scene for clues. London buses 7 and 70 are on diversion.
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Wilkins, investigating from Hammersmith and Fulham CID, said: “Our thoughts are with the man’s family at what is a very difficult time.
“We have launched a full investigation and are working hard to get answers and trace the moped driver.
“As part of this, we’re urging anyone who was in the area at the time and may have seen the e-bike or the moped to get in touch with us as soon as possible.
“If you have any information that could help, please come forward.”
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 1.22am today (Friday, September 25) to reports of an injured person in North Pole Road, Ladbroke Grove.
“We sent an ambulance crew, paramedics in fast response cars and an incident response officer to the scene.
“The first paramedic arrived in less than two minutes. Sadly a person was found dead at the scene.”
