Residents have spoken of their fear over a major road in south Manchester that's "too dangerous" to let children play near after four serious incidents on the street in less than six weeks.
Hyde Road has been the site of four serious police incidents since the start of June, which have left multiple people injured, with a 23-year-old man losing his life in a collision earlier this week. Now, residents have spoken about their fears around the road, and elected officials have urged for action to be taken to improve the safety of the route to prevent another tragedy.
The Manchester Evening News has spoken to several local residents after the incidents in recent weeks, including a woman who refuses to let her children play outside anymore because the area is simply "too dangerous". She believes the road has been particularly dangerous since it was widened last year, opening up from two lanes of traffic into four.
