A MAN who lives opposite the site of a fatal road crash in rural Lincolnshire says he has been warning of the dangers for months.

As reported in the Echo, motorist Duane White, 36, was killed in a collision with a lorry on the B1395 Wood Lane, near the northern entrance to South Kyme, near Sleaford.

Retired company chairman Roy Norman revealed he flagged up his concerns for the third time since March on the morning Mr White died.

Mr Norman said: "When mowing the distant end of our avenue I have on and off for years found car parts – wing mirrors, trim and bumpers – either on our land or in the adjoining corner of the neighbours field.

"Inspection would show marks on Wood Lane's grass verge where cars have spun out of control after the bend.

"At this point the speed limit is 60mph, albeit just a few yards later it enters a 30mph limit through the village.

"I have through the years seen the destruction of hawthorn bushes and trees but no police in attendance, as the drivers seem to make a timely, but no doubt shaken, exit.

"It is obvious that there is an issue with the road, whether it's the camber, the speed limit or simply lack of a nearby warning sign.

"Mine is the only property in the immediate vicinity, so I eventually felt it was up to me to let the council know the situation."

Mr Norman first contacted Lincolnshire County Council on March 19, expressing his concerns and saying that he feared a fatality.

He said: "By June 1 there was more debris.

"I had expected at least a bend sign to have appeared but had heard nothing.

"I expressed considerable concern, again citing I feared a potential fatality.

"Nearly five months on and no solution has taken place.

"Lincolnshire has a high death rate on its roads.

"With this in mind, one might expect matters of concerns raised by taxpayers to be acted upon in a reasonable timescale." Mr White, of High Street, South Kyme, was in a black Ford Puma car, which was in a collision with a Scania lorry.

Emergency services were called out at about 11.23am on Wednesday.

The 40-year-old lorry driver, a man from Wales, was unhurt.

Area highways manager Rowan Smith said: "Our deepest sympathies go to the family and friends of Mr White at this difficult time.

"We must now await the results of collision investigations and work closely with the police, through the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership, before deciding whether any highways improvements need to be considered.

"When we understand what happened, and the circumstances which led to this tragic event are known, we will review the associated highway if required."
