Peckham incident - air ambulance at Choumert

[Nigello]

According to @chaseKevin on Twitter, an air ambulance has landed near to Peckham Rye station. There's a suggestion it involved an incident on a bus, but this hasn't been sourced. RT by @peckhampeculiar (and me).

Just saw the air ambulance sitting in the choumert road car park. Hope all are okay.

[Bic Basher]

There is a 78 bus taped off outside the station on Rye Lane when I was in Peckham at 3pm.

Tfl have tweeted it as an RTC.

What is the matter with you people?talk about ambulance chasers!

[PeckhamRose]

How is this ambulance chasing wavyline girl. Do you know the meaning?

[Penguin68]

I think the correct term here is 'rubber-necker' or even, more strongly, 'ghoul' unless you have a pecuniary interest in other's misfortune.

Big Word Alert.

Totally agree with the recent posters.

These people couldnt give a $hit if the same person died peacefully in their sleep. This "hope all are ok" doesnt really fly with me.

Some people on this forum are quite weird and sick ...

Yes, but aren't a good proportion of people in this country "quite weird and sick"?

"Yes, but aren't a good proportion of people in this country "quite weird and sick?"

= 'well, everyone else is doing it'.

....same reasoning used in Nazi Germany and for the Southern United States lynchings.

I lived in a small welsh village for years ... and the gossip

I think Dylan Thomas tended to agree :)

You've invoked the Nazis.

I was in the area around 5pm and overheard the police say that someone was hit by a bus :(

pecuniary - nice sounding word

Godwin's law within 24 hrs and on page 1. Impressive.

[KidKruger]

Shut it, you're just like Hitler.

[unlurked]

Agree with Lane Lover.

[Jeremy]

I also agree... some people on this forum are certainly weird...

[Earl Aelfheah]

Godwin's a right fascist.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Tautology!

Sorry, belated Godwin's Law lounging

Well ,gossip or rubber necking ,I'm grateful for the thread .

My mum lives just off Rye Lane and being very elderly is getting a little muddled and anxious about things . She often hears noises in the night and wonders what they are ,details about incidents in the area help me relate to her .

She was recently convinced that a full scale rehearsal for evacuating the area in the event of flooding had taken place over night .

You might think that knowing there'd been a stabbing ,traffic accident or whatever is no help but at least I know there is often some real basis for her concerns .Sometimes I can even reassure her .
