Multiple Arrests in Hit-Run Deaths of Cyclists in London, Australia, US

A woman in her 50s died after a collision with a moped rider in a part-segregated cycle lane on King Street, Hammersmith, London, making her the sixth cyclist fatality in the city in 2025. The incident occurred on August 22, and police have made arrests as the moped rider fled the scene on foot; the investigation is ongoing. The cyclist was uninvolved with the moped riders, who were reportedly racing and possibly engaged in a feud while using the cycle lane. In other recent hit-and-run cases involving cyclists, a 40-year-old man in Melbourne died after being struck by a car, with the driver—who was suspended—arrested and charged. In Madison, Connecticut, a woman was charged with evading responsibility and assault after crashing into a bicyclist who was seriously injured and hospitalized. Meanwhile, a hit-and-run incident involving a bicyclist in Gresham, Oregon, is under investigation, with authorities seeking more information about the driver and victim's condition.
