An 88-year-old man has died following crash in Shepherd's Bush.

Kenneth Howard was crossing Uxbridge Road on foot, near the junction with Devonport Road, last Wednesday (March 30), at around 4.50pm, when police said he was hit by a cream-coloured Piaggio moped and thrown across the carriageway.

He suffered serious head injuries, and died in hospital five days later on Monday (April 4).

Police said the moped driver had remounted his vehicle following the collision and made off towards Loftus Road before emergency services arrived at the scene.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested the following day on suspicion of failing to stop after an accident. He has been bailed to a date in mid-May.

A moped was recovered a mile from the scene of the crash.
