Five injured in crash (From The Bolton News)

My wife went to a council meeting to ask about speed control in Ringley. (Ringley Road, Market Street & Stoneclough Road is one road) When i have stuck the 30mph cars have overtaken me. Cars are travelling at 60+ mph on this road. We need speed cameras here asap. This is the fifth accident in two weeks we are seeing several accidents per month, on Saturday someone drove into the large sign only 100 feet from thsi accident.It is only going to egt worse getting. We have feared someone is going to be killed. It should be 30mph all along the road no 40 mph but we still need cameras to slow down the racers. Council please act now, forget the budgets and stats on average speeds. Yes most people are usinig the road well but a godo percentage are going well above the speed limit. I was talking to a PC at the scene and a car pulled up at speed, pbviouly going so fast he didnt see the numerous flshing light, bollard and police cars, he was going too fast to react.

PS. Council notes say there has been no accidents since 2004? What????

Oh and the bus stop and fence was wiped out recently, amazing how quick the new fence and bus stop went up. What would have happended if there was a dozen school children stood there at the time?

Slow Down...... Council, slow them down.

Our friend was sat in her car a week ago on Ringley Raod and car drove into the rear of her car, she had to be cut out of the car. The police it seems have told the Council the they have attended too many incidents here and speed control is needed.!!

We all know what kind of people race BMW's We find them filling our rear view mirrors very often! My car was stolen not to long back and was involved in a crash, Think this area is going down hill. all the best to the innocent party which im 99.9999% sure are the children and the women! wish no luck at all to the guilty party, SLOW DOWN!

Or the two women could have been discussing last nights TV or where they're going on holiday and completely forgot they were driving ?

Don't forget the makeup,tuning the radio,clutching the steering wheel so it doesn't fall off,lighting a fag,remonstrating with the kids,passing them toffees to keep them quiet,comparing there partners and laughing so hard there eyes fillled with tears ,need i continue.
But then the BMW is more likely to be at fault ? Who knows i wasn;t there and neither where you?

As a biker I know one thing and thats two women talking while one is driving is far more dangerous than Black ice and Diesel spillage on roundabouts oh add young girls texting and driving to that.

Hey no time to make fun of the opposite sex jus couse they dont tickle your fancy! you must have fond memories of a former BMW! Think of the children you hartless tasteless ****

You sound a bit dumb boyo and if like the article says the Galaxy crashed into the BMW I think the woman driving should have thought more about her kids and concentrated on her driving. we dont know the full story I'm just answering you.

I live on Market Street and we can hear the speed of some of the drivers/motorcyclist
s driving past; unbelieveable. I do hope the people involved in the accident are ok but I do feel that people do need to slow down when driving through our village.

jumping the gun here a bit I think, or do you know something about this incident? if not, it's not wise to tar everyone with the same brush.

i live directly facing the bridge were this happended yesterday and it was the BMW on the wrong side of road overtaking a car and crashed head on into the two women driving on the right side of the road.

i hope this clears up any doubts

My M8's wife and kids were in the Galaxy, along with her Mother.
They were driving correctly on the correct side of the road, and the C*ck in the BMW tried to overtake a slow moving car and hit them head-on!

What morons some people are.
Hope all the Galaxy passengers are safe.

Speed cameras , no thanks !!!!!!

Hi I am a member of the family of the four that was in the ford galaxy involved in the crash . I wish people would not post such utter rubbish on these sites until you NO the full story and of what is the truth and keep you comments to yourself and never believe what you read elsewhere as you will all see when the real story comes out and thank you to the friend of our family on your post on here tonight xxxxx

I live in stoneclough and I'm fed up of idiots driving well over the speed limit on the wrong side of the road we need the police to nail them and keep on at the speeders unit they are banned from driving get the idiots in the bus job well done.

Why would anyone have a problem with speed cameras? If you don't speed then you won't get caught. It's not like they go off at 31 mph. Most 30mph limit cameras are set to at least 35mph or even 40 mph.

If you obey the law, you won't ever have a problem with them.

Speed cameras when used in the correct locations can save lives.

Speed in built up areas is a real problem the average speed of people in 30 zones tends to be about 40mph these days. The roads where this incident took place are not very wide and there are potential multiple hazards all along it none more so than the turn off to Prestolee, at times this is so bad it should merit traffic signals.

What is it that the initials BMW stand for????

To get your story straight before publishing it. I am a witness of the accident. The uninsured driver of the STOLEN Bmw was speeding, overtook a car and lost control. He then hit the Galaxy head on which has affected the lives of 4 innocent victims. The two front mother and daughter now need majour surgery to repair broken bones. One of the grandaughters did break bones so the idiotic Bmw driver has ruined the lives of the four people in the Galaxy their familiy and friends.
We wish all of the people in the Galaxy a speedy recovery

It's always the same story decent people's lives affected by the actions of some low life I wish the family a speedy recovery. The lad in the BMW if it was stolen will get a slap on the wrist and sent on a holiday by the courts.

Ringley has been blighted by boy racers stolen cars and off road bikes for years speed cameras wont stop stolen or off roaders thrashing around the village we need a police car to come down from farnworth a couple of days a week to deter the speeders and catch the illegal bikes and hopefully stolen cars its not hard they thrash it down to the garden centre every other night and the bikes every weekend dodging walkers horseriders

Stoneclough,Prestole
e, and Ringley always seem to be forgotten we need more police and beat bobbies.

It's not the type of gun that kills people,it's the a$$hole pulling the trigger.This particular a$$hole happened to have an expensive gun,it's not the cars fault.100 quid fine at 2 quid a month,2 months jail time,suspended of course.Just my cynical estimate.
