Police are appealing for information over the death of a pedestrian who collided with a cyclist in Shepherd’s Bush.

The 72-year-old man was struck by the cyclist on Frithville Gardens – a
quiet residential road in west London – at 11am on December 30.

The cyclist stopped at the scene and paramedics rushed the man to hospital,
but he died on January 15.

Following the man’s death, police were informed of the collision. Officers are now investigating and have appealed for the cyclist to come forward.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “Police were informed on the death on 27 January 2017 and detectives from the Met's Serious Collision
investigation Unit have launched an investigation.

“Detectives are appealing to trace the cyclist - who is described as a
black man.

“He stopped at the scene of the collision, but as police were never called
to the incident they have no record of who he is.

“It is of paramount importance that the cyclist comes forward and assists detectives with their investigation.

“They would like to reassure the individual that at this stage, all they
wish to do is speak with them and establish the circumstances that led to
the collision.

“Given the time of day there would have been a number of people in the vicinity and detectives are also appealing to anyone who witnessed the collision to come forward.”

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has information is asked to
contact0208 543 5157 or via Twitter @MetCC. Alternatively Crimestoppers can
be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
