Police were called at 20:15hrs on Thursday, 11 May to reports of a car and a motorcycle colliding in Leigham Court Road, SW16.

At the scene a male motorcyclist, aged in his 40s, had been involved in a collision and had sustained serious injuries. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers know his identity and have informed his next of kin.
Detective Sergeant Nick Bale of the Met’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “A blue BMW was abandoned at the scene of the collision and we believe that three occupants of that vehicle fled the scene on foot.
“I urge anyone who has information concerning the identity of those involved to get in touch. Similarly, if you were in the car, please make yourself known to us.
“This collision resulted in a man’s death and a family is now struggling to come to terms with their loss. Our thoughts are with them.”
