A LLANBADARN Fawr councillor has repeated his call for road-safety measures after a car ploughed over bollards and ended up resting against a house wall at a spot where a youngster was knocked down two months ago.

Cllr Paul James said it was lucky nobody was hurt in the incident on Primrose Hill after the driver of the Peugeot 107 seemed to lose control around a corner, smashed over one bollard and came to rest on a second. The councillor said pedestrians had been walking up the hill just moments before.

Twelve-year-old Oisin Morris suffered a dislocated ankle after being hit by a car at the same spot, leading his mother Samantha and Cllr James and fellow Llanbadarn councillor Gareth Davies to demand improved safety measures at the location.

Cllr James said he was one of a number of pedestrians who had been walking up the hill shortly before the incident, which happened at around 9.45pm on Sunday, 24 July.

He said: “It looks as if the driver misjudged the bend and ended up with the car being impaled on the bollards, damaging both of them.

“We were very lucky this time that there was no major casualty."
