Holborn crash: Doctor killed in HGV collision 'was on way to patients'

A children's doctor killed in a collision with a HGV "died on her way to her patients", her family has said.

Emergency services found Dr Marta Krawiec, 41, with serious injuries after the collision in Theobalds Road, Holborn, on 4 August.

Despite treatment, she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the lorry stopped at the scene and is assisting officers with their inquiries. No arrests have been made.

Dr Krawiec worked as a paediatric allergy consultant at the Evelina London Children's Hospital.

Allergy UK paid tribute to Dr Krawiec on their website: "Many children with allergic conditions will have benefited from her work and will continue to so as a result of her dedicated research into the diagnosis and treatment of food allergies.

"We send our sincere condolences to her family and friends and to her colleagues at the Evelina. Her death is a great loss to the allergic community."

In a statement, Dr Krawiec's parents said: "Marta lived helping other people every day. She died on the way to her patients.

"We are devastated by the loss of our beloved daughter and sister.

"We thank all the witnesses who are helping people in their investigation."
