A car lost control on a village road leaving the carriageway and landing in a ditch.
The latest crash on the country road happened in the early hours and has reignited road safety concerns on the West Pennine road.
At around midnight last night on Rivington Road, Belmont, a car landed in the ditch, with the driver suffering injuries.
Although the cause of this accident is not know it has prompted wider concerns about the road and the driving of some motorists.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: "Call was 12.31 am, Rivington Road.
"One car left the carriageway and entered a ditch.
"Driver treated at the scene for minor injuries and taken to hospital to be checked over."
Belmont residents have repeatedly brought up the concerns about the road and the driving of some motorists.
Rivington Road is a through route between Rivington and Belmont, going past attractions such as the Blue Lagoon, and is 60 mph for the majority of the route.
Elaine Brooks, landlady of The Black Dog pub leading up to the road, said: "We saw everyone going on up at about 12 am, we saw the blue flashing lights, but cars could still come up and down with no disruption."
Speaking more generally about the road, she added:"They just fly up, they rev up just to go up and down the road, with issues near the bottom of the road next to the pub.
"I can hear them revving it past and using it as a race track; they fly up all the time."
A councillor for the West Pennines of Blackburn with Darwen Council said she receives and hears a lot of complaints from Belmont residents.
She said at almost every community meeting, the road is brought up as a concern, now with more motorbikes driving on the road.
Cllr Jean Rigby, who represents Belmont, said: "The trouble is, and it has been for years and years and years, it's become a racetrack.
"Unfortunately, it's got worse where particular motorbikes have a race, and they sort of seem to do it in the night as well.
"It's very, very noisy revving their engines up."
Discussions of how to sort the problem out, and deter people from repeated incidents on the road has come into discussion with both Lancashire County Council and Blackburn’s council.
Speed humps have come into question, but would only work on certain parts closer to Belmont, and wouldn’t have a significant effect.
