Police have appealed for witnesses to the collision.

Detective Sergeant Wendy Parker said: "Sadly the victim has died and it is imperative that anyone who may have seen the collision or who came to the lady's aid comes forward to speak to us.

"In particular there were two people waiting at a nearby bus stop who we have not been able to identify and we believe they may hold crucial information, as they would have been in a very good position to see what happened.

"I would urge anyone with any information to get in contact at the earliest opportunity."

Croydon Council is to introduce urgent safety measures on St James's Road, including updating safety markings, after a cyclist was killed in the road last month.
