Cyclist dies in lorry crash
10:58am Friday 7th December 2007
A female cyclist has died after a crash involving a Tesco lorry in Streatham Hill.
Police are appealing for information about the crash that occurred at the junction of Brixton Hill and the A205 Christchurch Road about 7.35pm last night.
Officers say the Tesco articulated lorry was turning at the junction when it collided with the 41-year-old cyclist.
The cyclist died as a result of her injuries.
A Tesco spokeswoman said: "Tesco is carrying out its own investigation into this tragedy, as are the police, so it would be wrong for us to comment further. "However, we would like to extend our sympathies to everyone involved and our condolences to the family of the woman who died." Anyone with information should phone 020 8941 9011.
