Scooter rider killed outside West Middlesex Hospital

The horrific run of local road fatalities continues with yet another accident. The latest tragedy occurred this Saturday (26th February) in Isleworth.

At approximately 17.45 a Yamaha 100cc scooter traveling south along Twickenham Road was in collision with a silver Honda Accord which was turning into the entrance of West Middlesex Hospital. The female car driver in her 30's was unhurt.

The rider of the scooter - a 22 year old man from Isleworth - was taken to West Middlesex Hospital but later pronounced dead. The victim has been identified as Adriano Botta - next of kin has been informed. Adriano, who worked as a chef, was Italian and lived locally with his partner and brother.

Adriano's mother said, "Adriano was a happy fun loving boy who worked hard and never caused any problems for us. My biggest regret is that I was in Italy and not here for him. I need to know why this happened to my son."

Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to call PS Craig Robertson at the Collision Investigation Unit on 020 8941 9011.
