WITNESSES are still being urged to come forward following a fatal hit-and-run on New Year's Day.

Six men have been arrested at addresses in Ilford in connection with the incident, which occurred at around 4.25am in Palmers Green.

Another man was arrested after attending a police station.

Carrie Maclaren, 20, of East Barnet, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, at the junction between the A406 North Circular and Green Lanes.

Two others, a man and a woman, are still in a critical but stable condition in hospital. A third victim suffered a broken leg and a fourth was also hit by a vehicle, but escaped unhurt.

According to reports, a white Honda was travelling with an unidentified red vehicle when it mounted the pavement and hit the pedestrians.

The occupants of the Honda left the car and fled on foot, while the other vehicle did not stop after the collision.
