Police are still actively appealing for witnesses and information after a fatal hit and run collision in Isleworth.

The incident happened at approx. 00.30 on Sunday 11th June.  Police responded to reports of a car in collision with a pedestrian on the Great West Road (A4).  Two people were seen in the vehicle.

The ambulance service attended and took the victim, 18 year old Marcus MacFarlane, to West Middlesex Hospital, where he died.
