A cyclist is fighting for his life after a collision in Coulsdon, south London on Monday.

The cyclist was struck by a car at around 4.20pm on Ditches Lane in Coulsdon, around six miles from Croydon.

Metropolitan Police officers were called to the scene, and the cyclist was taken to the hospital, where he remains in a life-threatening condition.

The driver of the car involved in the incident, a red Hyundai i20, stopped at the scene and is cooperating with police as the investigation unfolds.

At this stage, police have not made any arrests and enquiries are ongoing.

According to Detective Sergeant Jim Hinchcliffe, from the Met’s Serious Investigation Collision Unit, said: “We are looking for anyone with information to get in touch.”

Sergeant Hinchcliffe has urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward.

He said: “If you were in the Ditches Lane area at the time of the collision and may have been a witness, have dashcam footage, or if you have any other information please get in touch by calling 020 8543 5157 and quoting CAD 5284/03NOV.”
