Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward regarding a fatal collision that occurred in Kilburn in 2023. The incident took place at 15:23 hrs on Saturday, 25 November, at the junction of Kilburn High Road and Cambridge Avenue, where a lorry collided with a pedestrian.

Emergency services, including paramedics from the London Ambulance Service, attended the scene, but sadly, the pedestrian, 71-year-old Thomas Murphy, an Irish national residing in Maida Vale, was pronounced dead at the scene. His family has been informed of the tragedy.
