The drama unfolded around 12:40 am. Police and London Ambulance Service teams quickly responded to urgent calls. Despite rapid medical attention, the person was pronounced dead on the spot.
The High Street remains shut both ways between the A214 Station Road (Swan traffic lights) and Ravenswood Avenue. Drivers face heavy delays, with traffic rerouted via Station Road, Manor Park Road, and Ravenswood Crescent. Nearby areas are gridlocked as a result.
