A man has tragically died after being struck by a lorry on Clapham High Street this morning, according to reports from Radio Jackie. The incident occurred on Friday, May 22, leading to the closure of the road between Nelsons Row and Tremadoc Road.
Scene Details
Footage shared on social media platform X shows police tape cordoning off a section of the road, with a blue tent visible at the center of the scene. A 345 bus is stationary within the perimeter, though it remains unclear if it was involved in the crash. Travel website Inrix reports that accident investigation work is underway at the location.
Bus Diversions
As a result of the closure, five London bus routes are on diversion: the 50, 88, 155, 322, and 345. Commuters are advised to check for alternative travel arrangements.
The Metropolitan Police and London Ambulance Service have been contacted for further details. Witnesses or anyone with information is urged to contact the reporter at rafi.benady@reachplc.com or via WhatsApp at 07554 518678.
