Police are appealing for information and witnesses following a fatal road traffic collision on the Seven Sisters Road at the junction Moreton Road today (Sunday, 19 October).
Police were called at 13:07hrs to reports of a collision between a moped and two cars.
Although detectives are in the early stages of their investigation they believe that moped rider – an 18 year old man – was part of a convoy travelling north when he collided with a black Ford Focus and was thrown into the path of a red Volkswagen Polo.
London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance attended and provided medical assistance to the man but despite these efforts he died at the scene.
Next of kin have been informed. Formal identification is yet to take place.
A post-mortem will be scheduled in due course.
Detective Sergeant Jane Mallet from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “This is a busy road and the collision took place when there were many vehicles travelling in both directions.
“I am keen to hear from anyone that has any information that could assist us with our investigation.”
