Man Thrown From Car Near Hanger Lane - Victim Named

Investigation underway after incident on A40

Two men have been arrested after a man was flung from a car near Hanger Lane.

He was taken to hospital in a critical condition but died seven hours later.

The victim has now been named as Aaron McQueen-Williams, age 23 from Eastcote. It's believed he fell into the eastbound lane of the A40 just after midnight (Friday 27th May).

A post-mortem examination carried out at Uxbridge mortuary today (Saturday 28th May) was inconclusive and results of further tests are awaited.

A police spokesman said: "Police were called at 12.20am to a man found seriously injured on the eastbound A40. He was pronounced dead shortly after 7am."

They say this is being treated as an unexplained death and inquiries are underway to establish the full circumstances of the incident.

Enquiries are underway to establish the full circumstances but at this early stage it is believed that the man fell from a moving car travelling along the A40.

A 23 year old and a 24 year old man were arrested in connection with the investigation and have been bailed pending further enquiries, returning in late July.

Any witnesses or anyone with information is asked to call the Incident Room at Barnes Green Police Station on 020 8247 7821 or, if you wish to remain anonymous please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
