Calls for action at 'death trap' crossroads after crashes in Sutton Bonington

There are calls for something to be done at a "death trap" junction in a Nottinghamshire village which has seen multiple crashes. The crossroads, in Sutton Bonington, links three roads on the outskirts of the village - College Road, Station Road and Melton Lane.

In March 2021, a driver had to be cut free after their car overturned in a crash - with pictures taken at the scene showing the damage done to a Peugeot after the collision. A year later, fire crews were also called to another crash involving a lorry and a car, in which one person was hospitalised. A lorry had gone off the road and into a nearby hedge

Locals say crashes at the crossroads are a regular occurrence because signage for vehicles coming from the Station Road and Melton Lane approaches isn't clear enough that they need to give way to traffic going along College Road.
