People living along a Shropshire road are calling for safety measures after three people died in a crash on Saturday night.
Corrine Thomas, Kiera Smyth and Robert McLoughlin were killed in the smash on the A495 between Whittington and Ellesmere, while two others were taken to hospital.
The accident has prompted appeals amongst residents and councillors for speed to reduced on the route, which is known locally as an accident blackspot.
Our video team was on hand to gather the thoughts of those people today.

It will take more than a speed camera or signs and road paint to cut the number of needless deaths like these. The problem is with driver attitude.
