Hit & Run Dulwich Village/East Dulwich Grove/Red Post Hill/Village Way Junction 24 June 2025 @ 9.52pm


Recommended Posts

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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
