A MOTHER has spoken of her fears that someone could be killed on a road near her home following a serious accident.

Tracey Atkinson spoke out after a three-car crash on the A4103 at Leigh Sinton, near Malvern, on Sunday, which resulted in a 16-year-old boy being airlifted to Birmingham's Selly Oak Hospital with back and internal injuries.

Yesterday, a police spokeswoman said the teenager's injuries were not believed to be life-threatening and described his condition as stable.

His father, who suffered minor leg injuries, was also airlifted to hospital and two more people were taken by ambulance to Worcestershire Royal Hospital's accident and emergency department.

Investigations into the crash are continuing and it is not yet known if speed was a factor.

But the incident has prompted Mrs Atkinson to re-issue her call for the speed limit on the road to be changed.

The 31-year-old has campaigned for years to have the speed limit cut on the stretch of the road near her home in Dragons Cross.

She and her husband, 34-year-old Jamie, and father-in-law, Bernard, 77, helped police re-direct traffic after the accident, which happened at about 4pm.

"We were outside in disbelief that this had happened again," she said.

Mrs Atkinson said although flashing lights warn motorists of the 30mph speed limit as they enter the village, just near to their home, drivers still go too fast.

"This road is horrendous," said Mrs Atkinson, who fears for the safety of her children, four-year-old Millie and two-year-old Ben.

"It just frightens me."

Her father-in-law, who helped redirect traffic around Dragons Lane, said: "The vehicles were write-offs."

Police closed the road until the cars involved - a Mercedes, a Volkswagen and a jeep - were recovered. It was reopened at about 8.30pm.

Two crews from Malvern fire station had been called to the incident, because it was believed injured people might have been trapped inside the cars, but they were not.
