Man charged with death by dangerous driving after 20-year-old woman dies in Brixton Hill

A man has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a 20-year-old woman died in Brixton Hill.

Quincy Anyiam, 26, from Surrey, attended a South London police station on Friday and has since also been charged with failing to stop at the scene of a road traffic collision and dangerous driving.

He is due to appear in custody at Croydon Magistrates’ Court today.

At around 9.45pm on Wednesday of last week, a car sped off from police in Brixton Hill after officers signalled for it to stop.

It failed to do so, and was then involved in a collision with a pedestrian.

The car did not stop at the scene and was found abandoned nearby.

A woman died at the scene. She has been formally identified as 20-year-old Anisha Vidal-Garner, from Epping.

The Directorate of Professional Standards and Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) have been informed, as is routine.

The IOPC has taken the decision to independently investigate the incident.
