There was an accident, I think on East Dulwich Road, near the junction with Peckham Rye. I came past on my bike at about 8.45 and there were loads of police milling about on the corner, and what looked like some personal belongings in the middle of the road.


There were also about 15 buses backed up on Barry Road, going nowhere.

Junction of Peckham rye and east dulwich road was taped off by police-about half a dozen police officers around at 8.30ish. Traffic accident possibly-it has been very dangerous there for pedestirans since the crossings have been out of use due to roadworks?

Yes, a young girl was hit by a truck this morning on the junction. I walked past just before 8.10am and it looked like it had just happened. There was one ambulance guy on the scene already, and the first of the ambulance vans was just arriving then.


I would have offered my assistance, but they ambulance guys and bystanders looked like the had it under control as best they could.


She looked in bad shape and I am really dismayed to hear that she has passed away.


Very, very tragic indeed. My thoughts go out to the families involved.

So what exactly happened, did you see?

Just a polite reminder that the family of those involved will be local and may well read this forum. Discretion is advised.

I understand, hence asking a possible 'eye' witness.

rather than allow continued speculation....

    • You are not the only one. I visited GM's Hair Salon last Sunday and had possibly the worst haircut of my life. It began badly when the stylist didn't mix the dye correctly so it wasn't colouring my hair uniformly. Instead of stopping to fix this she went straight into the cutting. I was very clear in telling her that I didn't want my hair cut too short but she ignored this instruction, attacking my hair with the clippers without once stopping to check if I was happy. She had a particular problem getting the sides of equal length but she just kept on cutting making both sides far too short. I asked her to comb my hair backwards but she combed it forward. I asked her to cut my hair at the back in a point but she ignored me again and did the opposite. The fringe at the front wasn't straight either. As if all this wasn't bad enough she didn't use a cutting collar so I got hairs all down my back and she cut my right ear (twice) and I left the salon wearing a bandage. The salon didn't seem too busy when I visited – staff outnumbered clients – so I don't understand why an employee with no idea how to cut short hair, inexperience with clippers and unable to follow instructions was allowed to work on me. An apology or a refund for a visibly atrocious haircut would have been welcome but neither was forthcoming. I will never set foot in GM's Hair Salon again.

    • Disappointed with all this negativity. I do occasional favours for mates or neighbours,  I sometimes charge a modest amount.  I know my capabilities, and those accepting my help understand too.  They may at times repay the favour.  To date I have not stolen anything, set anything alight or molested anyone.  Everything I do is within the relevant regulations eg I would move a plug socket hut not rewire the house. It's what people have done no doubt for 1000s of years. I do not compete with builders.  My usual response eg following requests on the street Whatsapp is to advise that much of jobs should be a simple DIY. I'm surprised how many house holders have so little experience, more so as the millennials move in. The Lets scheme is highly regulated. Meanwhile some of us may let a casual worker into our home, perhaps cash in hand, without checking their credentials.  There is still a considerable black market out there.  What I do is so little time, I'm not depriving professionals of serious business.  A contact who asked me to repaint her buy to let was told a clear no.
