A man and a woman have been arrested in connection with a collision in West Kensington which caused the death of 58-year-old Ina Rodrigues.

On Tuesday 16 January this year, Ina was using a pedestrian crossing on Talgarth Road when she was hit by a moped.

The moped didn’t stop at the scene and was found abandoned near by a short time later.

Ina was taken to hospital for treatment but died of her injuries five days later.

On Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 December two people – a man aged in his 20’s and a woman aged in her 30’s – were arrested on suspicion of death by dangerous driving and perverting the course of justice. Both have been bailed pending further enquiries to a date in January.

Ina’s family continue to be supported by specially trained officers and have been updated with this development.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or who has information that could help progress this investigation is asked to call 101 (24 hours) or the Serious Collision Investigation Unit witness line on 020 8543 5157 – quoting 5566/16JAN.

You can also provide information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
