A woman who lived for ninety-seven years was tragically killed by a lorry on one of London’s busiest roads.
Pensioner Nora Gutmann was struck by the large vehicle opposite Madam Tussauds waxworks in Marylebone Road (pictured) at noon on June 17, not far from her St. John’s Wood home.
She was treated at the scene by paramedics and was rushed to Paddington’s St. Mary’s Hospital where she sadly died from her injuries soon after arriving.
The driver of the lorry was arrested at the scene and released on police bail pending further investigations
A post-mortem examination took place on June 21 at Westminster Mortuary and gave cause of death as multiple injuries.
Next of kin identified the victim.
Detective Sergeant Jeff Edwards, who is leading the investigation, said: ”I am grateful for a number of people who stopped at the scene to assist the casualty.
“This stretch of road was fairly busy at that time and I would urge anyone who may have seen any of the parties in the moments leading up to the collision, or the collision itself, to contact police.”
