Appeal for witnesses after death of teenage moped rider near Oprington

Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a 16-year-old boy died in a collision in south-east London.

Police were called at 15:32hrs on Monday, 9 October to Sevenoaks Way, St Paul’s Cray, to reports of a moped in collision with an orange Vauxhall Mokka car.

Despite the efforts of the emergency services, the 16-year-old moped rider, died at the scene.

His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by officers.

The driver of the Mokka, stopped at the scene and was treated for shock.

The investigation into the cause of the collision is being led by homicide detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command.

Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe said: “At this early stage in the investigation, we believe a red Mercedes car collided with the moped, causing the rider to veer into the path of the orange Vauxhall Mokka car.

“We have recovered the Mercedes a short distance away from the collision site, but we have not located the driver or any passengers in the vehicle.

“I’m appealing for anyone who was in Sevenoaks Way on Monday at around 3.30pm, near to the Currys store, who may have seen anything, or recorded any dash cam or mobile phone footage to contact us immediately.

“A teenage boy has tragically lost his life and his family and friends urgently need answers as to how and why this has happened.”

Any witnesses or anyone with any information is asked to call 101 or contact via Twitter @MetCC. Please quote CAD 4890/09OCT

南韓影集《魷魚遊戲》爆紅。(法新社) 2021/10/10 00:31〔編譯管淑平/綜合報導〕南韓影集《魷魚遊戲》在全球竄紅,提升南韓的文化輸出實力。「自由亞洲電台」8日指出,不斷強調文化自信的中國,卻少有走向世界的文化作品,中韓文化輸出的差距在中國微博引起討論,有網友認為,一個主要因素是意識形態標籤阻礙發展。自由亞洲電台引述南韓建國大學文化內容產業系的中國籍教授李冬蓓的看法,雖然《魷魚遊戲》劇情非常南韓化、反映南韓的社會秩序,但是卻十分具有普遍性,同樣的情況,在全世界任何國家、地區都可能發生,「可以令人感同身受」是這部戲劇最大的特徵,很容易引發共鳴,因此跨國文化壁壘較低。 報導說,中國不斷強調文化自信,但是近幾十年卻少有走向世界的文化作品,這種中韓文化輸出的差距,在微博上引起討論,有網友認為,中國這種文化輸出窘境的一個重要原因,在於中國娛樂圈缺乏創新人才,也有人認為,中國文化的意識形態標籤,是阻礙發展的主要因素。李冬蓓也指出,中國的故事大部分是在相同社會體制下、接受過相同教育、同樣背景下生活過的人才能力,「文化壁壘其實是比較高的。」報導指出,從獲得美國奧斯卡多項大獎的南韓電影《寄生上流》、偶像團體「防彈少年團」(BTS)、BLACKPINK,到《魷魚遊戲》,「韓流」文化似乎已經衝出亞洲、走向世界,成為繼日本動漫遊戲之後,又一個亞洲文化輸出典範,甚至有分析認為,南韓娛樂製作公司「具備足以支配全球娛樂產業的好萊塢式生產能力。」 不用抽 不用搶 現在用APP看新聞 保證天天中獎  點我下載APP  按我看活動辦法
