Tributes are being paid to a Dad who died after the motorbike he was riding collided with a car in Lambeth.

Ronaldo Medeiros De Oliveira, 44, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on Leigham Court Road last Thursday (11th May) which happened at around 8pm.

Ronaldo’s family has shared the following statement:

“My dad was a kind, loving person who always did what was right. He was always happy and never had bad times when we were with him. He was my true hero, taught me everything I know. We are going to miss him a lot. Wherever he went he carried a lot of light with him and a lot of happiness.”

Detective Sergeant Nick Bale of the Met’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit said:

“My thoughts are with Ronaldo’s family and I want to reiterate my commitment to them that we working hard to piece together what happened.

“I am continuing to ask anyone who has information about the identity of three occupants who we believe left a blue BMW abandoned at the scene of the collision to get in touch. Similarly, if you were in the car, please make yourself known to us.

A 22-year-old man was arrested in connection with this investigation and was subsequently released without further action.
