Update: Three killed in car and bus crash
3:03pm Tuesday 1st January 2008
Comments (172) Have your say »
THREE people have died after the car in which they were travelling collided with a bus in Charlton.
The crash, involving a bendy bus and a Peugeot 106 carrying five people, happened in Little Heath, near the junction with Cemetery Lane, at around 6.30am on New Year's Day.
Three people, two females and one male, were killed in the collision.
Two others, a male and a female, were taken to hospital. Police have described their condition as serious.
Fire crews were called to the scene to cut the injured people out of the car.
At the time of the crash, the single-decker 453 bus was not in operation, and there was nobody but the driver, who was not injured, on board.
The bus was removed from the scene earlier today, but the road remains closed to traffic as police investigate the incident.
Football fans travelling to Charlton's game today were advised to find an alternative route to The Valley.

Make people REGISTER correctly BEFORE they can post comments!
IN the comments pages of your website, people hide behind their fake names and feel they can be abusive (even about those deceased).
It's not fair on the families, who may read their bilge at a time when they are destroyed inside with grief.
Obviously, my best wishes go to the families of those involved.

People saying negative things just need to pi#s off and go and moan to someone else about it and not on here as unless you arent aware, PEOPLE ARE GRIEVING!
I just find it unbeleiveable that people come on here making assumptions about people they dont even know! How do you know the parents didnt know where their kids were and what they were doing out at that time? You have no idea so dont make comments!
This country is just full of cold, ignorant unsympathetic whingers!

3 young people have lost their lifes in a tragic ACCIDENT. Parents cannot be with their children 24/7 . I just feel that comments like that should not be made, Please think what the families of these kids are going through. 3 families have had their worlds ripped apart and are not to blame for what has happened.

To all those who feel the need to criticise their Parents, How dare you use this time to get your narrow minded views heard. As far as Im aware all the Parents knew exactly where their Kids were at that time of day!! They were on their way home to their Families, not out mugging old ladies or Vandalising other Peoples property. Your comments are not appropriate on these pages, what do you do trawl the forums trying to find somewhere to see your stupid comments in print. What Sad people your are!!

This isn't your private website. A lot of people are asking the question, and not willing to accept lame answers like "we can't be around our kids 24/7". Good parents make clear to their children what the rules are, and the penalties for breaking the rules.
Despite what you think, the people asking these questions are not heartless clods--quite the opposite.

You cannot possibly know what your children do 24/7 regardless of what boundaries and rules you set! If you think you can and you think you are one of those parents, then you are seriously living in a dreamworld and think you live some kind of perfect life!
I for one had a very strict mum who never let me out until I was 17 and even then I was set a curfew! This doesnt mean that during my school days I didnt lie about where I was now and again, so I could go out with my friends! Everyone does it when they are a kid and noone is picture perfect!
The fact they were out at 6.30am is none of your business. They could have been coming from a party or going somewhere, who knows!
Point is, 3 young people have lost their lives and that should be the focus of conversation. Noone cares about your questions!

Not such a good parent does not learn to trust, does not allow the child to spread their wings and then stands in judgement of the child. A mother that knows what their child is doing 24 hours a day, does not mother the child, but smothers the child! (or lives in cloud cuckoo land)

So what if people are asking the same question what has it got to do with you or them. This may not be an official page of condolences, but it is obvious to all good hearted people that it has become one anyway for people close to all those involved and people who didnt even know them to express there grief and respects. So what harm would it have done to keep your thoughts to yourself on this occasion instead of possibly added to the grief of the poor families. Your comments are discusting and your point that good parents make it clear to there children what the rules are blar blar blar!! insinuates that these poor people are not good parents and because YOU believe they have broken the rules this is there punishment. You should be ashamed of yourself. Lets hope you never experience the kind of heartbreaking tragedy these people are going through and you never have to read the words of pompus, heartless people like you!

When are they going to take killer bendy buses off our roads and save lives. R I P young ones. And pull thru other two.

Secondly, to the people who have made comments or posed questions regarding the questions. Although some of you have said that there isn't any malice behind your comments or questions....do you really think this is either a) the time to do this and b) the forum. If you have read the other posts from people who knew the young people who died, so you must see that people are dedicating tributes to them. There is a time and a place for these importnant discussions to take place however, this is not the time or place-no matter how good your intentions are. Have a heart and give the families a break. Put yourselves in their shoes-would you want people saying such things if your child had died? I think perhaps you need to set up a forum elsewhere to discuss your concerns. News Shopper-why aren't you protecting the families from seeing these insensitive comments?????????

Who ever wrote where were the parents well let me tell you the parents were at home thinking thier daughters were safe at thier friends house. Do not ever judge the parents, it wasnt thier fault. Amy always got dropped of and picked up whereever she was. You didnt know what thier parents did for them so do not ever say that. People like you make me really angry...thats really the right thing to be saying when there are hurt, terribly upset people. Rest in peace Amy and Georgie...i miss and love you so much.. love you forever... Hollie

As for the constant questioning about why they were out in the first place, how many of you did what you were told as a teenager??? This really isnt the place for debate about the rights and wrongs of parenting please remember three young kids have lost their lives and their families are suffering. ****

Best wishes to the two in hospital.
Please don't blame anyone. I have been told by a reliable source that the driver was not speeding, using drugs and had not been drinking. The bus was not at fault either. It was just an accident. A very tragic one.

EVERYONE PUT ONE HAND UP IN THE AIR.
NOW ANYONE WHO HAS EVER LIED TO THEIR PARENTS AS A TEENAGER, ABOUT THEIR WHEREABOUTS PUT YOUR HAND DOWN.
ANYONE WHO HAS EVER LIED TO THEIR PARENTS, BOSS, TEACHER,THE POLICE, AN INSURANCE COMPANY
ETC.PUT YOUR HAND DOWN.
ANYONE WHO HAS MADE A MISTAKE WHILST DRIVING, PUT YOUR HAND DOWN.
ANYONE WHO HAS EITHER DRIVEN A CAR THAT WAS OVERLOADED, OR BEEN IN A CAR, THAT WAS OVERLOADED, PUT YOUR HAND DOWN.
ANYONE WHO HAS EITHER DRIVEN A CAR WHILST UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS, OR HAS BEEN IN A CAR, THAT WAS BEING DRIVEN BY A PERSON, UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS, PUT THEIR HAND DOWN.
ANYONE WHO HAS DONE ANYTHING DISHONEST IN THEIR LIVES PUT THEIR HAND DOWN.
ANYONE WHO HAS DONE SOMETHING IN THEIR LIVES,THEY ARE NOT PROUD OF, PUT THEIR HAND DOWN
NOW LET'S SEE HOW MANY HANDS THERE ARE LEFT IN THE AIR?
NOT MANY!
AND THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS - DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE.
THE POLICE THINK JOE EITHER FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, OR SWERVED TO MISS A FOX. HE WAS NOT DRUNK, HAD NOT TAKEN DRUGS AND WAS NOT SPEEDING. THE POLICE SAY JOE WAS DRIVING AT 31 MPH, AND THE BUS WAS DOING 30 MPH. THAT WOULD BE A HEAD ON COLLISION AT 61 MPH. HENCE THE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES.SO ALL YOU PERFECT PEOPLE WHO HAVE APPOINTED YOURSELVES JUDGE JURY AND EXECUTIONER. PIPE DOWN AND LEAVE THESE POOR FAMILIES TO GRIEVE IN PEACE.
TO ALL THE FAMILIES INVOLVED: OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.

quoteWhat did we all do at that age,please people take a long look at ourselves,its all part of the growing up phase.there is a big world out there for our children to explore and they will as i did.To critise the parents is wrong annd offensive.them being at home would proberbly would have made no difference as children will be children.we live in harsh times with a lot of things going in which should not be.I worry when my children are out as the world can be a cruel place.to loose a child is every parents nightmare and my heart goes out to them.blame is the wrong thing to be doing at any stage of these sorts of crisises.I think these sorts of sites can be useful as the love ones know people are thinking about them wishing condolences.dont be too quick to judge put yourself in the families shoes.Everyone has feelings so please remenber this before inapropriate comments are made

I miss you so much i think about you everyday babes.
On our 19th I toasted a drink to you, as did vicky and the rest of the girls.
The thought of never seeing your smile again breaks my heart so much, but atleast i was one of the many blessed with knowing you and spending time with you.
The memories we have .. i will never ever forget.
Love you RIP .. Sleep well baby look after my grandad and james up there xxx ****
