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.

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....

      Just astonishing - how do they do it? Well done for being so on the ball.

      Shocking - so fast. Machines can have a false device for inserting your card into and then they retain it. Your bank should return your money

      Cashpoint theft/robbery warning - Tesco, East Dulwich Road

      By thejournalist · Posted

      FYI East Dulwich neighbours: I was in the middle of a cash withdrawl at the cashpoint at the Tesco Express on ED road (the one next to the Esso petrol station) when a man appeared beside me waving his hands over the screen and saying not to use it because it had just taken his card. He then dissapeared and I cancelled the withdrawl. No card was returned. It took me literally 30 seconds (max) to realise something wasn't right and 'freeze' the card on my mobile/banking app. I immediately got a txt message from my bank saying a transaction had just been declined, and then another. I logged in to app and £251 had already been taken. This all happened increadibly quickly - the whole incident from first encounter to money being taken and me freezing card was probably around 3 minutes. The guy must have somehow seen me put my PIN number in. It's possible there was some kind of card skmming involved, but I don't know for sure. The man was around 5ft 6/7, black and wearing a covid-type face mask. I don't remember what clothes he was wearing. I got the feeling (mainly from his voice and eyes) that he wasn't young - maybe mid-30s to mid-40s (but I can't be sure). Obviously I repoted to police.

      It would be incredible if the community supported small businesses rather than a chain (Gail's being a very large chain).   Sadly, consumers don't realise their power - as you can see also by the number of coffee cups etc that are still being bought and contribute to landfill - it' not hard to be responsible, just inconvenient.
