Arrests made 10 months on from tragic death of Ina in Talgarth Road

Detectives investigating a fatal collision in Hammersmith have made two arrests.

The collision involving a moped and pedestrian in Talgarth Road, West Kensington, on Tuesday, January 16, resulted in the death of 58-year-old Ina Rodrigues.

The moped involved did not stop at the scene and was abandoned a short time later.

Ina was taken to hospital for treatment but despite the efforts of medical professionals she sadly died there five days later on Sunday, January 21.

On Wednesday and Thursday last week, two people – a man aged in his 20s and a woman aged in her 30s – were arrested on suspicion of death by dangerous driving and perverting the course of justice. Both have been bailed pending further enquiries to a date in January.

Ina’s family continue to be supported by specially trained officers and have been updated with this development.
