Streatham: Deliveroo driver killed in hit and run - BBC
Description

A Deliveroo driver who was killed in a hit-and-run crash in south London has been described as a "true hero" by his family.

Ronaldo Medeiros De Oliveira's motorbike and a car were involved in a collision on Leigham Court Road, Streatham, on 11 May.

The Met Police has appealed for information about three people believed to have abandoned the car and fled the scene.

A 22-year-old man who was arrested in connection with the investigation was later released without further action.

The daughter of 44-year-old Mr Medeiros De Oliveira said in a statement: “My dad was a kind, loving person who always did what was right.

"He was always happy and never had bad times when we were with him. He was my true hero, taught me everything I know. We are going to miss him a lot.

"Wherever he went he carried a lot of light with him and a lot of happiness.”
