Some poor chap has been knocked down by a coach at the junction of Upper Richmond Road and Charlwood in case anyone s wondering why traffic isn't allowed to turn right off the High Street to go west. Lots of police around.

Hello Lucille,PutneySW15 has an article about the article.An 89 year old lady died after a collision with a coach on Upper Richmond Road and Charlwood.... Very sad indeed!

I've just seen it on the front page Ivonne. I must have missed the accident by minutes as I went out this evening. Poor lady and the coach driver must be in shock.

I agree. It is one of the moments where Kipling's "to fill the unforgivable minute with 60 seconds worth of run" becomes heartbreakingly real. Absolutely horrible!
Very sad indeed.Is there any confirmation where the accident took place? Was it the corner of Charlwood and URR? Or close to the crossing on URR as shown in the photo?

From what I could see when I walked home last night it was difficult to tell if it happened at the junction with Charlwood but possible. Perhaps the lady stepped out in front of the coach and the driver was unable to stop in time. Awful for everyone concerned.

Apparently it was at the traffic lights - lady stepped out as it went to green - coach did his horn, slammed on break but hit her :(
