Injuries after car drives into shop in Golders Green traffic ‘accident’
Chaos for Pesach shoppers as bystanders report 'serious injury', while CST confirms the incident was not intentional
There were injuries reported after a car drove into a shop front on Golders Green Road, in what is reportedly a traffic “accident”.
Pesach shoppers faced chaos on Wednesday, after a vehicle drove into a pharmacy opposite Kosher Kingdom in north London.
Blogger David Collier took on Twitter to describe the incident, saying: the “car [has] driven into shop at Golders Green. People hurt. Pesach shoppers opposite Kosher Kingdom. No idea yet if accident or not”.
He added that it was: “Tragic. People holding shop front up . Certainly serious injury. People just out for Pesach shopping. Heartbreaking”
CST said it “has discussed with Police and can confirm that traffic incident in Golders Green Road appears to be an accident.”
Shomrim North West London posted a picture on Twitter, showing a London air ambulance landed in nearby Princes Park to attend the incident.
Henry Jacobs, who witnessed the event, said: “I was in Kosher Kingdom and we were told there was an emergency and had to get out. Kosher Kingdom was cordoned off. I had just come from The Mehadrin butcher and the car went into the shop two doors away.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.

Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
