Victim of fatal Morden collision named as detectives continue to appeal for information

Detectives are appealing for witnesses following a fatal collision in Morden earlier this month.

Specialist officers from the Met have been supporting the man’s family at this difficult time and are now seeking the public’s help as part of enquiries.

Police were called at 18:51hrs on Monday, 3 March to reports of a road traffic collision between a car and a pedestrian in Green Lane, Morden.

Despite the efforts of the London Ambulance Service and officers, the pedestrian, a 49-year-old man, sadly died at the scene.

He has been formally identified as Sinnathamby Karunakaran.

Detective Constable Caroline Landy of the Roads & Transport Unit, who is leading the investigation, said: “Our thoughts remain with Sinnathamby's family at this tragic time.

“We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area of Green Lane between 18:35hrs and 18:50hrs – were you commuting home from work or within the area at this time and saw something that might be helpful to us?

“If you were driving 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.”

Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with footage of this incident to contact police on 101 or ‘X’ @MetCC quoting CAD 6080/3MAR25.

The car stopped at the scene. The investigation continues and no arrests have been made at this time.
