A woman who died in a multiple hit-and-run has been identified as a 29-year-old from Poland.
Justyna Kalandyk was struck by two lorries and two cars as she used a pedestrian crossing in south London while the traffic lights were green.
The drivers of all four vehicles did not stop. Ms Kalandyk was treated by paramedics at the scene in Tulse Hill but died of multiple injuries on Monday December 11.
She was originally from Poland, but had been staying with family in Wandsworth, south London.
The driver of the second car to hit her, a 52-year old man, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving.

The driver of the first lorry, a 49-year old man, has been interviewed under caution.
The driver of the second lorry and the driver of the first car to hit Ms Kalandyk have spoken to police, but neither has been arrested.
Many witnesses have come forward and spoken to police, including the driver of a third car.
‘Even though we have traced all the vehicles that we believe were involved, I continue to appeal for anyone who witnessed the collision and the moments afterwards to contact us immediately,’ said Detective Sergeant Alastair Middleton, who is investigating the crash.
An inquest into Ms Kalandyk’s death will begin on Wednesday at Southwark Coroner’s Court.
Police still want to hear from anyone who was travelling from the South Circular junction of Norwood Road towards the junction of Brixton Hill between 6.30am and 7am on that day.
The CCTV shows a white lorry – believed to be the second vehicle involved in the collision – and a black car which is thought to be the third.
A post-mortem examination revealed her provisional cause of death to be from multiple injuries.

Navin Bagan, 37, who works at the nearby Tulse Hill Cafe, described the hit-and-run drivers as ‘heartless’.
She said: ‘They just left her to die – it is not right.’
Acting Detective Sergeant Alastair Middleton said: ‘We are grateful for all those witnesses who have come forward, but we continue to appeal for anyone who was passing and witnessed the collision and the moments afterwards to contact us immediately.
‘Inquiries are continuing to trace the two outstanding vehicles involved. A number of actions, including the recovery of local CCTV footage are in hand. I would urge the two drivers we are yet to trace, come forward and speak with my team.’
