Tragic Hit-and-Run Shakes NW4 as Child Killed
A police helicopter and a swarm of emergency vehicles flooded NW4 this afternoon after a fatal hit-and-run horror on Grahame Park Way. The road near Beaufort Park and the local police station was sealed off as cops launched an urgent investigation.
Chaos and Heartbreak at the Scene
Locals heard sirens and the helicopter’s roar overhead. Witnesses say a young child, believed to be a Year 5 pupil, was struck by a car that may have been linked to a police chase. A blue tent was put up, with a child’s scooter spotted nearby.
“I heard a small hit… then a woman screamed. People were crying everywhere. It all happened so fast,” said resident Adnana Chirila.
Another bystander claimed the young girl had died, though police have yet to confirm details. Online, community user Sahar Bz wrote:
“Someone’s passed away opposite the police station. Looks like a hit and run. They’ve blocked off Graham Park Way from the Beaufort Park nursery. That explains the helicopter.”
Official Response and Advice
The Metropolitan Police have not yet issued a formal statement. Residents are urged to steer clear of the area while detectives work to piece together what happened.
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson confirmed:
“We were called at 3:08pm today to reports of a traffic collision on Grahame Park Way. Multiple crews, including an advanced paramedic and air ambulance, rushed to the scene.
“Tragically, despite our efforts, a woman was pronounced dead at the scene.”
