Accident at Lordship Lane with Upland 1st September 9.30am

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Another accident, not the first and won't be the last on this road .

The road is closed off. Police are there .

The elderly lady that was knocked over has been taken away in an ambulance .

Every single councillor (there are 9) involved with this stretch of road was asked to consult this summer. The results were very interesting indeed. In any event TFL met at this intersection to discuss in August. MONEY as always and how many people had been hurt. I would like to know how statistics are kept. For example the "child knocked over" is not a statistic as the parent didn't report it. I am very concerned that "citizens" have to act when paid professions do nothing have no new ideas and seem not to read the best and the brightest and the most recent studies let alone travel and incorporate ideas that work for less money from elsewhere. I've come back from France where a road much busier than Upland Road is painted with white stripes everywhere a road intersects. And cars STOP when a pedestrian stands at the stripes. It does not seem to be an enormous whoo haaaa . It's a bit of paint and collective behaviour. The idea that rules are cast in granite and they cannot be revisited and revised in the face of shortages. White paint is fast and easy and there is less street clutter. And get a few uniformed people out there to issue warnings for speeding. Drivers SPEED around a blind corner.

Most of them don't even stop for people who are at the island so the white paint would be dismissed like the island but what a super idea, if only it would work here.

My husband knows the lady in question she is 90 years old and was on her way to church

It's a really horrid road and I wish people would report their accidents as so many accidents do occur there but without reporting it legally its hard to get the MPs to take more action .

Is the lady ok now ?

[Trish]

Does anyone know if the old lady is ok? We drove past while they were obviously waiting for the ambulance to arrive and my daughter has been worried about her ever since.

On a positive note, it's nice to see that there are so many lovely caring people in this area. The lady was being well looked after by those people who had stopped to help.

I do hope she is ok and making a speedy recovery.

[supermum]

Yes the Lady thankfully is fine, well looked after by KCH, a dear friend of mine and a very active 92 year old.

Good news. Best wishes to her on behalf of everyone here.

[Trish]

That's great news - thanks for posting!
