Car Crash on Verbena Road

Noel Neighbourly Lead from Birkdale

Well, it has happened, again. A car crash around the corner from Lymington Castle. This isn't the first time there has been a crash on this stretch of road either. I've spoken to my neighbour, whose car was unfortunately hit by the speeding driver.

This is the 4th time a car belonging to his family has been hit. This particular incident was so bad, that his parked car was sent flying 3 houses down the street. Thank god no one was injured. You can only imagine what would have happened if there were pedestrians caught up in the crash!

The reckless driver did a runner, but hopefully the police will catch up with them.

One silver lining from this crash was that I met 3 more neighbours and invited them to join Neighbourhood Support for our street. Neighbourhood Support works to keep neighbourhoods safer by keeping us in touch with our neighbours. If you live on Verbena Road and are keen to join, do let me know! =)

This incident brings to mind again my previous posts about maniacs on the road, reckless, aggressive driving and speeding around housing areas.

Hopefully something can be done, like speed bumps on Verbena road or traffic islands.
