A man in his 20s has died after he plunged from a bridge and was hit by a lorry in west London, Metropolitan Police said.
The London Ambulance Service (LAS) scrambled to the A40, also known as Western Avenue, in Northolt around 1am on Thursday.
They found a man who was later pronounced dead at the Target roundabout.
An LAS spokesperson said: “We were called today at 12.59am to reports of an incident on Western Avenue, Greenford.
"We sent a number of resources to the scene, including an incident response officer, an ambulance crew, and a medic in a fast-response car. We treated a man at the scene, but sadly, he was later pronounced dead."
An eyewitness told MyLondon they had been driving a truck past the scene and narrowly avoided a man after he fell from a bridge. However he was sadly hit by another lorry.
A Met Police spokesperson said: "Police were called at 00:58hrs on Thursday, 30 November following a collision involving a lorry and a man on the A40 Western Avenue, at the Target roundabout.
"The man, aged in his 20s, is believed to have fallen from height from a bridge beforehand."
There were rush-hour traffic jams from the Target roundabout as accident investigators closed the road to collect evidence.
