A WOMAN who died in a horror crash – reportedly as she got off a bus in north London, has been named by police.
Chithra Vanmeeganathan, 46, from Wembley, died after the collision involving a car, a bus and pedestrians on Monday (February 24).
She is thought to have been struck by a car.
Emergency crews rushed to Bessborough Road at 9.19pm but the victim died at the scene.
Her next of kin has been informed and is receiving support from officers.
Detective Sergeant Paul Jackson, from the Roads and Transport Policing Command, said: “Our thoughts remain with Chithra’s family at this difficult time.
“The investigation into this tragic incident is ongoing, and we are continuing to appeal for anyone with footage of the incident, including from a doorbell camera or dashcam, or anyone who witnessed the collision to come forward.”
Two other pedestrians, a 12-year-old boy and a woman in her 30s, were taken to hospital for treatment – their conditions are not life changing.
The driver of the car stopped at scene and he was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. They have since been released on bail.
Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with footage of this incident, including drivers with dashcam footage, to contact police on 101 or ‘X’ @MetCC quoting CAD 7193/24Feb.
