Well I'm hoping it's not someone I know, but what exactly has that to do with your insensitivity of taking photos.
A picture like Kanda's is sufficient to show the Hill shut off. I think the police tape proves the point. Or do you think police tape is insufficient and blood is needed as further proof that there's been an accident?
Are these official numbers?

Simple observation based on the fact that
a) it happened during morning rush,
b) everyone that normally gets on or off a bus on Brixton Hill had to walk,
c) travelling daily I see how busy things are,
d) It's been like that for at least four hours it seems
I'd say "hundreds" was a very low guestimation.

Anyway, could anyone tell me if the Hill is reopened yet as b/f is meant to be going to Waterloo within the next hour.
I'm guessing not. From my 5th floor window the Hill looks empty of traffic with a lot of people walking.

Looks like he'll have to splash out for a cab then.
I'm guessing Lyham Road/King's Avenue is jammed with traffic diverting. How's Tulse Hill looking do you know?

They've decided to walk to the station so they're having to leave now as it'll take about 1/2 hour

There's a block of flats in the way of the Tulse Hill side, but Effra Road's working well
And Brixton Hill, at least the stretch I can see through the gap of St Matthews, is still surprisingly quiet. The odd vehicle, possibly off side roads, but no buses or real traffic to be seen.

if you honestly think people walking past an accident and you posting a pic of it are the same thing, you need help

Still closed fifteen minutes ago. Now we have the police helicopter overhead too. This seems more than an RTA to me. I am wondering if the driver did a runner and they are trying to find clues as to where he went / who he was.

That's what I thought it was in the first place, the stabbings are in different areas of London

It was a stabbing (or assault as the copper told me)
That's what they said on R4

It could have been a deliberate run-down, judging from where the van ended up.

That goes without saying ... but I'm talking about the white van just in front of the blood, rather than the police vehicles which are obviously parked deliberately to stop the traffic.

Maybe the driver was dragged out of it.

because newscasters have mentioned Brixton Hill being shut off straight after mentioning that two youth have died in stabbings in different areas of London
