Worried residents have called for action at a notorious Doncaster road junction which has been the scene of a number of recent road crashes.

Emergency services were called to the junction of Brecks Lane and Armthorpe Lane near to Kirk Sandall yesterday – the latest in a number of incidents at the junction in the last few weeks.

Nearby residents say overgrown vegetation alongside Armthorpe Lane makes it difficult for motorists to see clearly to turn onto the carriageway.
