The 27-year-old pedestrian was struck in a collision on Streatham High Road, shortly after 1 am on Wednesday.

Emergency services attended the scene, including London’s Air Ambulance.

The A23, Streatham High Road was closed until 11am following a crash in the early hours.

A 27-year-old man has injuries which have been assessed as life-threatening and a 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

A general strike took place in the United Kingdom from 4 to 12 May 1926.

Work on the next phase of improvements on the A23 Streatham Hill will begin at the end of this month (June 2026), with temporary traffic restrictions in place while the scheme is delivered.

TfL told Brixton Buzz about the forthcoming closures and restrictions:

Our leisure centres and libraries across the borough provide cool spaces for those who need to beat the heat.

Croydon’s tram network was closed between Addiscombe and Beckenham Junction for several hours this morning, as flooding blocked the lines following severe and intense thunderstorms just after dawn.

For those who need it, we have specifically designated Streatham Ice Rink and Leisure Centre in Streatham High Road as a Cool Space for the heatwave.

But all our 10 libraries and eight leisure centres will be open as cool spaces for those who need help to beat the heat.
