Calls have been made to improve road safety on a Long Ditton street after a car flipped on its roof this week - just yards from where a man was killed three months ago.

The driver, a young woman, was taken to hospital by ambulance but is not thought to have been seriously hurt.

She was wearing a seatbelt, and was left hanging from the seatbelt, witnesses said.

The Mercedes is understood to have flipped when it hit a parked car in Effingham Road near the junction with St Mary’s Road at 6.20pm on Wednesday, June 10.

The road was closed for more than an hour and the K3 bus service was disrupted after the collision.

An Effingham Road resident in his 60s died after being hit by a vehicle just yards away near the Windmill Lane junction in March this year.

Long Ditton Councillor Barry Fairbank said: "Following this, maybe there should be more pressure to do something about that junction."

Resident Tim Harrison added: "Although there is no suggestion that high speed was involved in this incident, the police are going to have to do something to crack down on the absurd speeds of vehicles racing down this road, especially late at night."
