PRESSURE is growing for the layout of a new junction to be changed before there is a fatal smash, as readers have now told their stories of vehicles nearly slamming into them.
The latest crash in which a man hit a wall and telegraph pole on the A38 Worcester Road, on the Copcut junction opposite the Copcut Elm pub, happened on Monday morning. Firefighters used cutting gear and small tools to cut the roof off the BMW to free the man, who was later taken to hospital.
That crash followed another between a car and a motorbike on January 16 when a motorcyclist and his passenger were seriously injured, with them both rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham for specialist treatment.
