When a cyclist and a truck collided at Mervan Road near the intersection with Effra Road at approximately 4:15 p.m., London Ambulance Service (LAS) paramedics notified the police.
The London Fire Brigade and officers responded, and Effra Road was blocked down in both directions.
“We sent resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, a paramedic in a fast response car, members of our Tactical Response Unit, an incident response officer, and London’s Air Ambulance,” a representative for the London Ambulance Service stated.

The rider passed away at the spot despite the efforts of emergency personnel.
According to authorities, his next of kin have been notified.
