A WORRIED resident has called for action to be taken on an accident blackspot outside his house before someone is killed.

Thirty-six year-old Jason Bills, of Bank Cottage, Hawford, near Worcester, said since he had moved to his home off the A449 six years ago he had seen at least 10 crashes - one of which was fatal - on the bend by his home.

Now the lorry driver is calling on road safety chiefs to take action by installing speed slow signs or putting in other measures to prevent more accidents.

It comes after the stretch of road by the King's Hawford Girls' School was the scene of three crashes in three days, with the first happening at 12.37am on Saturday, and involving two cars.

Two drivers had to be cut free from their cars and were taken to Worcestershire Royal Hospital suffering from a head injury and shock respectively.

Only two hours later another motorist escaped serious injury after ploughing into the back of the crashed vehicles.

At about 8.13am on Monday a car went across the central reservation at the same spot, flipping onto its roof, although noone was injured.

Mr Bills' drive to his house comes off the A449 and he fears if nothing is done his wife Sarah Hawkins and their children - Dan, aged eight, and three-year-old Grace - could be killed by a vehicle ploughing into the back of their car.

He said: "It's getting beyond a joke and nobody seems to be doing anything about it.

"It's getting worse and worse and I'm just waiting for somebody to get killed before the authorities take any action."

A spokeswoman for the High-ways Agency said the stretch of carriageway between the Omber-sley and the Claines island was re-surfaced and the camber of the road changed in February to address the problem.

She added: "We were satisfied that scheme did what we wanted it to. The road had also been gritted and salted and the Highways Agency would remind drivers to drive slowly and carefully and in an appropriate manner for the weather conditions."

Drivers were yesterday warned to take extra care on the roads as Britain braced itself for heavy snow and blizzards after forecasters warned the weather would cause disruption over the next four days.
