A woman in Hammersmith was killed in a hit-and-run when she was mowed down by a moped as she crossed the street.

Ina Rodrigues, 58, was hit on Talgarth Road, at the junction with Gliddon Road, shortly after 6pm on January 16.

Ms Rodrigues died in hospital five days later and her family are being supported by specially trained officers, Scotland Yard said on Thursday.

The moped did not stop at the scene and police have launched an appeal to hunt down the driver and their pillion passenger.

CCTV captured the pair abandoning the moped later that evening and hiding it under a cover before fleeing the scene on foot.

No arrests have been made and police enquiries continue.
