Appeal for witnesses following a serious collision in Hackney

Detectives are appealing for information after a serious collision in Hackney which left a male pedestrian in a life-threatening condition.

At 05:52hrs on Tuesday, 8 April police were called to reports of a collision between a car and a pedestrian on New North Road at the junction with Mintern Street, Hackney.

Officers attended alongside the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance. The pedestrian, a 60-year-old man, was taken to hospital and remains in a life-threatening condition.

The driver of the car stopped at the scene and no arrests have been made.

Detective Constable Bruce White, of the Met’s serious collisions investigation unit who is leading the investigation, said: “Our thoughts remain with the man who was injured and his family at this difficult time.

“We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area of New North Road between 05:30hrs and 06:00hrs – were you commuting to work or within the area at this time and saw something that might be helpful to us?

“If you were driving past or live in the area, please check any dashcam or doorbell camera footage to see if you may have captured what happened.”

“We believe that there may be witnesses who have yet to come forward. No matter how small, anyone with any information is urged to contact us immediately by calling 101 and quoting CAD/1015.”

Detectives from the Met’s serious collision investigation unit are asking anyone who saw the incident or who may have captured it on dash cam or similar to contact 101, quoting CAD 1015/08APR25.
