Small, light coloured hatchback, no right headlight working

turning right from Dulwich Village into East Dulwich Grove

hit female cyclist full on, did not stop, accelerated away and sped off up East Dulwich Grove @ 9.52pm on Tuesday 24 June

Quite possible that the car had driven through the centre of Dulwich Village 9:45-50pm passing in front of The Real Greek, Roca, Crown & Greyhound etc…

The cyclist was badly injured 

thanks to the pedestrians and car drivers who stopped and helped

 

Please contact the Police with any details if you witnessed the accident (some people left before the police arrived) or if you may have seen the car (Small, light coloured hatchback, no right headlight working) in Dulwich Village, East Dulwich Grove or nearby streets (Townley Road, Lordship Lane)

Do you mean when you say 'right headlight' driver side or passenger side? Right from inside the car or as it comes towards you? 

My car was recently stolen by accessing the electronics via the nearside front headlight, which stopped that working.

This may be a simple hit and run or it may additionally have been a stolen car.

So sorry to hear and I hope that the cyclist recovers quickly and is not put off cycling.  I was left for dead in a hit Nd run many years ago, people stopped and came to my aid and one drove me home with the wrecked bike.  There will be CCTV the police should check. If you are in contact with the cyclist then the Motor Insurance Buteau should provide compensation, particularly if there were eye witnesses

Hope she has a speedy and full recovery.

The Police should put a sign up now at the junction asking for witnesses, nothing there yet?  Not everone looks at this forum.  They usually put them up about three months after the incident, when no-one can remember the speeding car or who was driving it!

How terrible for the cyclist. I can only imagine how shaken up she is by this event. I hope she makes a speedy recovery, physically, mentally & emotionally.

The vehicle's registration number should be easy to extract, as the area is laced with CCTV cameras. I hope they are caught.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
