Speed bump calls in Colwick where crash into boundary wall was 'waiting to happen'

People on a Colwick road where the boundary walls of two homes were destroyed in a crash say that speed bumps are needed to stop more accidents. Nottinghamshire Police issued a warning after issuing pictures showing significant damage to a car and a van following the collision on Chaworth Road at around 2pm on Monday (October 24).

Chaworth Road lies just round the corner from Vale Road, with residents reporting that the whole stretch is being used as a "rat run" for people driving around the Colwick Loop Road. Two people were treated for minor injuries at the scene of Monday's crash and police told drivers to take extra care.

But people living along the road think that more safety measures are needed following the accident that was "waiting to happen." Andor Bánfi, 37, who has lived on Chaworth Road for five years, said: "It is always quite busy all the way along the road and there does seem to be speeding, particularly at night, so speed bumps could help with that.
