Woman, 58, killed in moped hit-and-run as cops launch urgent hunt for driver & passenger seen on CCTV
COPS have released CCTV of a moped rider and passenger they are hunting in connection with a fatal smash.
Ina Rodrigues, 58, was crossing a road in West London when she was struck by a scooter shortly after 6pm on January 16.
The rider and passenger raced from the scene in Talgarth Road, Hammersmith, before ditching the moped nearby and fleeing on foot.
Despite the efforts of medical professionals, Ina died five days later in hospital.
Cops have now released CCTV of two people they want to speak to in relation to the crash at the junction with Gliddon Road.
Footage shows the pair throw a cover over a scooter before walking down a street in their helmets just after 6.09pm.
The Met’s DC Matt Jackson said: “Our investigation has managed to track the moped to where it was abandoned but we now need the public’s help to try and identify the two people who were on it at the time of the collision.
“Ina’s family has been devastated as a result of this collision and we need to provide them with answers as to what happened to their loved one.
“If you can help, please get in contact immediately.”
