It was with great sadness to receive the extremely distressing news that a women, aged in her twenties, died whilst cycling yesterday morning (7 April 2020) as a result of a collision near North Cheam in the north-west of the borough. Our thoughts are with the support services, the police, the medics from the London Air Ambulance and others who attended the scene. But most importantly, our thoughts are very much with the family of the young woman, and everyone who knew her.
On 15 April 2020, police named the young woman who died in the collision as Rachel Brown, who was just 25 years old. Later the same day, the Evening Standard reported that Rachel was cycling to work when she died, and that she worked as an Intelligence Analyst with the Metropolitan Police.
