Update: Pensioner dies after accident in Elmers End Road
2:40pm Tuesday 11th November 2008
A PENSIONER has died after being struck by a car in Elmers End.
The 79-year-old, from the Beckenham area, was in collision with the blue Alpha Romeo in Elmers End Road, near Elmers End Station, at 9.35pm last night.
She was taken to Lewisham Hospital but she died of multiple injuries in the early hours of this morning (November 11).
Jane Gough, 41, was working at the nearby Goals football centre when the accident happened.
The receptionist said: "It was before the crossing and the ambulance did not move until around half-eleven.
"The road was blocked off both ends.
"It is not very well lit but I have never known of a fatality here."
Mathew Mitchem was trying to get home from work but could not get down the road because it was closed at the junction with Croydon Road to the junction with Ancaster Road until 2.24am today.
The 18-year-old said: "There was one ambulance and lots of police cars.
"The police were asking did you see what happened but there was no-one around for the police to ask.
"There was someone still in the car and someone on the floor."
No-one has been arrested in connection with the incident which is being investigated by the Met police’s south east traffic collision investigation unit.
Anyone with any information should call 020 8284 5925.
The accident is said to have happened near the crossing
