Thanks for the report, jj72. There's a stub here on the Standard site of a pedestrian death in Lytton Grove:
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/putney-collision-pedestrian-killed-lorry-lytton-grove-b1191666.html
The picture shows a police cordon at the junction of the A3 West Hill with Lytton Grove, with a tent set up and a stationary tanker.
Either there were two deaths in Putney today, or this is a wrong report about someone who was actually riding a bike. If the crash involving the cyclist happened at the West Hill/Lytton Grove junction, it may be about the same event even if the details are wrong. The Standard piece doesn't seem to be based on a Met Police release, and there aren't any (yet) on the Met web-site.
And just to echo what everybody on Reddit is saying, your friend should make sure she gets psychological support. You could point her to RoadPeace:

Best wishes to her.
RIP victim.
Also, for the time being we shouldn't quote from the sources so far available. There will be emergency services press releases which will probably have accurate, if thin, details.
