Crash closes St Helier Avenue

Two people have been rushed to hospital after a collision this morning.

The London Ambulance Service were called at just after 7am to reports of a road traffic collision between a motorbike and a pedestrian.

They sent two ambulance crews, two single responders and the air ambulance attended.

They treated two patients with multiple injuries who were taken to St Georges as a priority.

The incident has closed St Helier Avenue from the St Helier roundabout heading towards Morden.

The extent of their injuries are not yet known.

the whole scene was bedlam this morning the traffic was backed up to morden buses diverted via middleton rd and the whole cariage way towards morden blocked off. my thought are with the families of the injured parties. this is a perfect example why the nhs should keep st heliers open when this rd is an accident blackspot there has been roughly 4-6 accidents in 5 months.

I live on this road, and people treat it like a race track,and people forever running across the road,middleton road junction is forever having some kind of accident. And some people have no consideration to us trying to pull up and park on the kerb outside our own houses which 3times ive seen accidents happen.
Your very right the hospital NEEDS 2 remain open.

I moved to this area a little over a year ago, I live right on the junction of Middleton & St Helier. I have witnessed & attended to more road traffic accidents in this past year than I have in my entire life!
Something needs to be done about this road. Maybe change 1 of the lanes into a bus lane to reduce accidents & give residence opportunity to park more safely & definatly do not close St Heliers!!!

Can I also add, that we have been targeted to lose both our children's A&E as well as our Children's Ward!!!!!! It is so important that we don't allow this to happen - yes I am staff @ St Helier but I'm also more importantly a Mum!!!!!

Thanks kazza. I have signed the Guardian and Facebook petitions online and have been taking round a few sheets for Tom Brake MP's petition. I have got bits in the local press and gave interviews to the press on the lawn opposite the hospital last year. The video they took still appears in news bulletins when they use library footage. I look forward to the next rally and health permitting I shall be there perhaps on my mobility scooter!

I am incandescent about this as I was already livid about the way the Coalition bulldozed through CaMoron's NHS (privatisation) Act that was in no party's election manifesto. I joined over 1,000 lying down in the roadway on Westminster Bridge closing it for an afternoon within sight of Westminister and they ignored this.

The selected hatchet man hospital CEO who has been slashing posts is the enemy within. I cannot understand how local MP Paul Burstow is a Care Minister in the Government pushing through these cuts yet he wants us to sign a petition against his own actions. If the local government MP's don't stop this alevolent nonsense which is aimed to aid the introduction of private health care schemes by creating pain and delay through the gaps in the service they are creating then I hope their time is up at the next election.
