A 'much-loved' woman who was tragically killed after being struck by a car over Bank Holiday has been named.

Catherine Colebourne, 38, was left seriously injured on Monday, May 7 after being hit by a car at around 3am.

Metropolitan Police officers attended the scene on Station Road, Chingford, and the pedestrian was taken to hospital in a critical condition.

She sadly died the following day. Her next-of-kin has been informed, although formal identification is yet to take place.

A member of her family said Catherine was a sister and daughter who was "loved so much by so many".


A 23-year-old male was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and he was taken into custody at an East London police station.

He has since been released under investigation.
