Update: Three killed in car and bus crash

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.

    C'mon NewsShopper,
    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.

    No, your wrong. If parents took more care with their kids there wouldn't be the problems we have in society. Wake up to reality
    Posted by: KATE, se3 on 9:08am Wed 2 Jan 08
    how sad that others feel that they have the right to comment on where parents are when there kids are out.....do they not think that these people have enough to deal with at the moment without these busy bodies dictating to them....why dont the "mum" who made these comments mind her own buisness and pray to god it never happens to her !!! r.i.p little ones !! my heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family and friends at this sad time xxx

    Sorry, your missing my point. I do care about others probably more than most, that's why I'm making the comments. Everyone should be looking out for our neighbours and it just isn't happening.I have kids much older and I do know where they are 24 hrs a day.

    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.

    this was a tragic thing and my thoughts go out to everyone involved but you can't blame the bus or driver or the car driver until a full enquire is made know one is to blame it was just a tragic accident.
    Posted by: chris, bexley on 10:24am Wed 2 Jan 08
    What a terrible ,yet again expected event. People just cannot understand or accept that SPEED kills .Nothing to do with the Bendy bus ,he wasn't speeding ,was on the correct side of the road. I did not come on here to blame anyone . I came on here to ASK people to just relax and take note of the SPEED they are zipping by at .What is the rush for? just to show off? get home to watch Eastenders? well none of them are worth it . My thoughts go out to all the people 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!

    Its a shame young people have to die on roads last year there was 2 other accidents invoving buses and niether were Bendi buses its just a tragic accident that happens For whatever reason What about the poor bus driver who might be reading these comments have a thought for all involved accidents happen and are not always the fault of anyone or the type of Car Bus Lorries or even the person driving. R.I.P

    The point i was trying to make is that this is not the time nor the place to start pointing the finger.
    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!!

    A truly sad and tragic event for all those involved. I met Amy, whilst i was working with her Dad Tom, earlier in 2007, when she came in to do work experience. She was a truly beautiful young lady and i remember her gorgeous eyes. She will now always remain young and beautiful...an angel. My heart goes out to Amy's family and freinds and also to the other tragic victims, their freinds and families..and for those injured, a speedy recovery. God bless.

    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.

    My sympathies to the families, and to the bus driver who will have to live with this horrible memory.

    After reading some of these comments, i am shocked. How can certain mindless emotionless people come onto this site saying "why was the girls out at this time" and to those talking about speeding. Noone not even the police know what caused this accident yet, so how about you keep you thoughtless comments to yourself, and think about those lost families and friends at such a sad time. Rip Joe Wallis, im going to miss you babe, 4years friendship taken in one day, i still cant believe it. Sleep well hunny. **** rip georgina and amy ****

    Such a tragic waste of three young, vibrant people.
    May all three families find an inner strength to cope over the very difficult coming months. My thoughts are with all the family members at this terrible time.
    God gained three very special, beautiful Angels yesterday. RIP X

    Im not being funny Tom, but who the hell are you? An why should they answer any questions from the likes of yourself or anyone else askings things that do not concern them! Busybody's like yourself wind me up something chronic, you have nothing better to do that sit there and criticise others and ask questions that do not concern you!
    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!

    I feel for the Families of all the people involved and pray for a speedy recovery for those in Hospital. There is noone to blame. Its mindless people who blame parents that make me sick to my stomach. keep your Stupid comments to yourselves, it really is not neccesary and maybe you should question your own parenting skills instead of getting involved in something you clearly know nothing about. Take a step back and imagine how the friends and families of the victims of this terrible accident may feel at this present time. Joe, Amy and Georgina, you are in a far better place now. Rest in peace, you will be missed and never forgotton by those who care.

    Michelle you are so right.
    This was a senseless terrible tragedy.The cause of which, is not of consequence for the grief-stricken families.For those of us who know the families involved, it is for us to support and care in the days, months, years ahead.

    This sad tragic loss of Three young lives may they R.I.P .And hope the two in hospital both pull through ok. As a parent of young teenagers you can not be with them 24/7 . WE MUST REMEMBER THIS WAS NEW YEARS EVE MOST PEOPLE FROM YOUNG TO OLD WAS OUT. This is every parents nightmare & i would like to send to the family's who have lost there loved ones sincere condolences. also a speacial mention to the bus driver involved who just turned up for his normal days work. i really don't think this ia about about a bendy bus, car ,speed, or anthing other than a real tragic accident .

    A good parent is one that learns to trust their child’s judgement and allows them to spread their wings, that parent then stands back and allows the child to make mistakes and then does not judge them, but wraps their love around the child – kisses their heads and makes it all better again (after a good telling off). The child’s disappointment is the parent’s disappointment, but a thousand fold. Wrap your grief around your child, kiss their heads, tell them off and let them know you love them and do not judge them, then allow them to spread their wings again.

    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)

    May your children find eternal happiness, and may you, the families, one day smile again!

    This is a absolute tradedy,so many lives torn apart, and 3 lives not fully lived, mine and i am sure millions other people thoughts are with everyone who is affected by this horrible accident. Perhaps people should ignore the thoughtless comments people are leaving this is newsshoppers page for the public to leave comments unfortunetly people are being very disrispecfull, they just choose to be very unessersary and say things which should not be said on here. Leave arguing on here and leave just for tributes. R.I.P 3 lovely Children. xxx

    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 poo
