Vehicle smashes through wall as Bridgnorth streets 'treated like race track'
Claims have been made that speeding cars are treating Bridgnorth like a "race track" after a vehicle ploughed through a wall just yards away from a cliff edge before fleeing the scene.
Residents have described their distress at recent incidents, one of which occurred on Saturday night and left debris including a bumper and part of a number plate scattered across the pavement at the top of Hollybush Road.
The crash, which is believed to have been caused by a white van at about 11pm, happened when a driver lost control of their vehicle and smashed through the wall past Rose Lane, near the roundabout joining Listley Street, St Mary's Street and the B4373.
Bricks and mortar fell onto the property of retired resident Paul Lewis, 76, who said had the culprit crashed "a few yards further down", he would have driven off a cliff.
Mr Lewis, who moved to Bridgnorth in 1984, said: "I'm living on my own here; it is a distressing incident but we've been having quite a lot of problems with speeding cars late at night, especially on the weekend.
