from what i just saw now, it looks like the new mercedes hit the island that separates the road and the bus lane in front of the tesco, because the island is damaged and the lampost is collapsed, guessing it tried to cut someone off and didn't see the island

I live above Morleys so right outside where the car ended up. Didn't see the accident but saw the immediate aftermath before the emergency services arrived.


My brother went down and chatted to someone to find out what happened - the guy he spoke to said that she had just missed him, hit the central island and flipped over twice. She must have been going at a fair pace to flip twice and end up where she did.


Anyway, it seemed that they got her out pretty quickly - I'm not sure what state she was in but the ambulance, fire crew and most of the police left pretty sharpish. I have just watched the car be upturned by the recovery lorry and it doesn't look like the front frame around the windscreen was crushed in anyway so I would hope that she made it out without anything too serious. Car probably a write off though.

I realise that the island in the road is to reduce speeding and assist pedestrians, but as a car driver coming up from Peckham Rye, you need to approach this section very carefully, especially if you have had to overtake buses at the bus stop and noting cars turning right from the road opposite. Would it be better as a full zebra crossing or having a pelican crossing which is controlled by pedestrians?

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
