Police search for two key witnesses after man, 71, fatally struck by lorry in Kilburn

Police are seeking two key witnesses after a man was fatally struck by a lorry in north London.

Thomas Murphy, 71, was hit by the vehicle at the junction of Kilburn High Road and Cambridge Avenue. The Irish national, who lived in Maida Vale, died at the scene.

The incident occurred at 3.23pm on Saturday, November 25. Emergency services rushed to the scene, but Mr Murphy couldn't be saved.

The lorry driver stopped nearby and has been questioned. No arrests have been made.

Detective Sergeant Becca Collens, of the Met's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "The police investigation is ongoing, which has included obtaining CCTV footage that is central to this investigation.

"However we have been unable to make contact with two key witnesses who provided details to officers at the scene. I am appealing for those two men to make contact with me.

"I also need to hear from anyone else who saw the incident but has yet to speak with police. I am keen to have witness accounts as well as CCTV material and other evidence available for the inquest."

An inquest has opened at Barnet Coroner's Court.

Witnesses are urged to call 101, quoting CAD 4240/25Nov23.
