A man in his 30s has died after being hit by a lorry outside Wimbledon Station this evening.

Wimbledon Bridge is cordoned off directly outside the station’s main entrance and police have been directing pedestrians back through the station to an alternative exit.

Police have also blocked off access to Wimbledon town centre surrounding the main junction. A police tent has been put up near the traffic lights.
