In a harrowing incident that has shocked the local community, a woman has been rushed to the hospital with severe injuries following a gruesome collision with a car. The accident occurred at the stroke of midnight on the A240 Kingston Road at its junction with Worcester Park Road.
The pedestrian, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, fell victim to a dreadful crash involving a black BMW. The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene, cooperating fully with law enforcement to unravel the circumstances that led to this nightmarish event.
As the woman fights for her life in hospital, her loved ones have been notified, adding to the emotional toll this accident has taken on the family. Surrey Police have cordoned off a significant stretch of Kingston Road from the Tolworth roundabout at the A3 to Ruxley Lane, causing substantial disruptions to the morning commute. Motorists are being advised to steer clear of the area, with alternative routes suggested via Cromwell Road and Old Malden Lane.
Authorities are now urgently calling for witnesses to come forward. “We urge anyone who saw what happened, or who has dashcam footage, to contact us immediately,” a police spokesperson implored. The reference for any information relating to the incident is PR/SYP-20240420-0001.
