Does anybody know about the accident involving a bus and a person on Rye Lane on Tuesday morning?


Recommended Posts

When I got on the bus to travel to Peckham Rye Station at about 9.15am on Tuesday 8th Oct, we had to stop at The Nags Head and walk down Rye Lane, there were lots of emergency services there and lines of buses parked. I vaguely saw a woman on her side - does anybody know if she's okay or what happened? I am not being nosy like the people stood in the street glaring at her, I just wanted to check she was okay.


Thanks

I was told that a cyclist collided with an oncoming bus while trying to overtake a rubbish truck, hence the cyclist was on the wrong side of the road. I was also told that when all came to rest the cyclist was positioned just in front of one of the bus front wheels on the road, although it couldn't be seen if they had actually gone under.


One point im confused by though was that I was told the cyclist was male, but they could have gotten this detail incorrect.


Even though based on what I'm told it would seem in this case the cyclist was on the wrong side of the road, it would not surprise me to hear that the bus driver was partially at fault. Thid is because I have personally observed multiple instances of bus drivers exhibiting a macho attitude on rye lane, accelerating rapidly in the face of oncoming cyclists even when the obstruction is on the driver's side of the road, forcing the cyclist to take diversionary action despite having right of way.

    • It used to he that car badges were stolen just as trophies. Their value resided in their display value to demonstrate - well, something. Nerve perhaps. 
    • Someone or some people stole  the Nissan  badges from my ancient Micra, which definitely did not have anything of value lurking beneath them, including the car. Not sure if this was  their  stupidity,  random vandalism, or the badges had some intrinsic value of which I was totally unaware. It was on two separate occasions.
    • We've just used Aaron and I'd strongly recommend him. Excellent plasterer. Not the cheapest but very tidy and quick – so good value for money. He cleaned up well and a nice bloke too.  Aaron Manser 07773 410661
    • Admittedly I have not gone  through that application with a fine tooth comb, riveting though it is (thank you for posting the link). However,  unless I have misunderstood, within the documents it says that  there are eleven properties associated with the application. Could someone at Tesco have made a mistake with the address,  and in fact it has nothing to do with Poundland? Sorry, somehow I have duplicated my own post, and I'm not sure how to remove the duplicate. DUH.
