Police are asking the public to come forward with dashcam footage following the death of a 74-year-old man, killed in lorry collision.
Wilfred ‘Curtis’ Warrington, 74, died in a fatal collision with a lorry in Malden Road, New Malden on July 21 at around 3pm.
Despite the efforts of emergency services, Mr Warrington, who lived locally and was known as Curtis, died at the scene.

An investigation was launched by detectives from the Met’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit.

“If you are such a person, please do get in touch without delay.
“As they endeavour come to terms with their loss, Mr Warrington’s family has expressed their gratitude for the kind wishes and tributes.”
