A pedestrian is fighting for her life after being hit by an electric bike in south west London.
The woman in her 70s was found seriously injured on Garratt Lane, Earlsfield at about 1.45pm on Thursday.
Police attended along with paramedics from London Ambulance Service.
The rider of the e-bike has been arrested on suspicion of causing injury by careless driving, the Metropolitan Police said.
He remains in custody on Friday.
Garratt Lane was closed in both directions between Burntwood Lane and Waldron Road for many hours.
A force spokesman said: “Police were called to Garratt Lane, SW18, at 1.44pm on Thursday, November 7 to reports of a collision involving an e-bike and a pedestrian.
“A woman, in her 70s, was found injured. She has been taken to hospital in a critical condition.”
Last month, the Standard published the shocking moment a dog walker was left bleeding in the road after a e-bike crashed into her while she was walking over a zebra crossing.
Anette Collins, 56, was walking her two dogs, Izzy and Ginny, in Crouch End when a man on a Lime cycle crashed into her at speed at around 9.15pm on July 27.
Police in the City of London have seized more illegal e-bikes than any other force - with one capable of 70mph.
UK officers confiscated 937 e-bikes in the year to August 11, according to Freedom of Information data. That is compared with 511 during the previous 12 months.
