Air ambulance landed on lordship lane estate at around 2.30pm. As it physically landed in the middle of the estate I don't think this is the cause of road closure at plough.. It has now gone, as of 4pm. Walked over to the shop and was out on the estate, traffic was still moving up lordship lane both ways throughout incident. Is it open again now?

sadly, apparently not if it's the same accident on this thread http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,926229,927635,page=2#msg-927635

On another thread here somebody has posted that two people died and two were seriously injured in an accident on Lordship Lane today, unfortunately.


I don't know whether that is referring to the same accident, or whether that information is accurate.


Very sad news if so.


ETA: Sorry, post crossed with the one above.

I was walking home this afternoon due to the buses terminating at goose green, passing the accident I was shocked and amazed at people standing looking at the accident and taking photos and videos on their phones. What has the world come to? I commented to a few people 'why are you taking photos' "why not" was there reply.


I hope no one was hurt due to the accident.

im glad it wasnt just me that thought that as well, elephant i had to walk past the same accident as you, with my 13 year old son, we were both shocked at the people just standing around takin pictures and video and laughing, you could just see them poor people in the accident were in a really bad way,and they need medical help,it is so sad the way the world is going, them pictures and videos were probably posted all over the internet last night, i wonder if they new 2 people died from that crash..................... so sad

"What has the world come to"?


People have been gawking at accidents since the dawn of time. The only difference nowadays is that almost everyone has a camera.


Go back even to the 1950s and you had hundreds if not thousands of people gathering outside prisons when a hanging took place.

Yes, agreed.


Unfortunately it's part of human nature.


Some/many people slow down to gawp at accidents on the motorway, if there's anything to see.

    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.
