Neighbours on a busy road in south Wales say they’ve had 19 cars written off because drivers keep crashing into them. Since James Crowley and his family have lived on Chepstow Road in Newport they’ve had ten cars written off, while Andrew Griffiths and his family next door have had seven wrecked in the past decade.
Another neighbour, Gerald Carter, who is 89, has had two cars written off in the last six years - one of which almost ended up in his lounge. After both James and Andrew’s vehicles succumbed to yet another collision late on Sunday evening they repeated their calls for traffic measures to be used to ensure drivers remain alert when travelling down the busy road near the Man of Gwent pub.
It isn’t clear what caused the collision on Sunday evening. James, Andrew and Gerald said they’ve become frustrated at a lack of action over their appeals for help since the accidents began happening over ten years ago.
