Residents have since demanded extra safety measures on the road, after the crash left it a scene of devastation.

A 27-year-old chef, whose wall was destroyed, told the Echo the road is "super dangerous".

The dad said: "I was up putting the kids to bed when I heard what I thought was a HGV driving past, but then I heard glass smash, looked at the window and saw the state of my garden and one car had landed on its side across the fence.

"We’re not the homeowners, we’re just renting, so there’s nothing we can claim on."
