Harry Webb

Categories: Cyclist

Harry Webb was originally from Powys, Wales but had been living in Hackney.  Aged 27, "he had a maths and philosophy degree from Bristol University, a masters in philosophy from Amsterdam university and had been due to begin the second year of a masters at the London College of Contemporary Music."

On his way to London Fields lido for an evening swim, he was cycling in Kenworthy Road at around 7.30pm on Sunday 10 September 2023 when he was hit by a car that then collided with another vehicle. He died in hospital two days later.

The driver of the car was arrested. Tiffany Treanor-Johnson, 25, of Bramshaw Road, Hackney, was charged with the 'holding charges' of causing injury and failing to stop. The case was adjourned with the next date being 28 October 2024.

"Campaigners have repeatedly called for action after previous road collisions and near-misses on Kenworthy Road, a very busy road that links Homerton and the A12."
