Police are investigating if a fatal hit-and-run in Kingsbury is linked to a police chase a short distance away.

A woman in her 60s died at the scene after a car hit a pedestrian in Kingsbury Road, between Roe Green Park and just before the Tigerbay Shisha Lounge at 12.30am today (November 7).

A crime scene was in place throughout the morning as forensics were called to the scene.

The driver of the car did not stop at the time.

Just a short while after that, officers tried to stop a car in Colindale as the driver escaped at Lanacre Avenue and fled on foot.

Discussing whether the two incidents are linked, as they were just roughly two miles from each other, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Officers are investigating if the vehicle and its driver were linked to a fatal collision just prior to this incident at Kingsbury Road.”

The woman’s next of kin has been informed.

Anyone who witnessed the Kingsbury incident, has dashcam footage, or who knows the identity of the driver should call police on 101 or post on X @MetCC quoting 153/7NOV.
