Camera call at accident blackspot
Speed cameras could be installed along a notorious stretch of a Shropshire road where a number of young people have died in crashes.
Shropshire County Council has asked the Safer Roads Partnership to review the A495 between Ellesmere and Oswestry after 20-year-old Michael Jones, from Oswestry, died in a crash there at the weekend.
It comes after the county council said the accident rate between January 2003 and December 2007 was "below the national average" so was not currently programmed for further works. There were two fatal accidents on the road in that time.
Jennifer Fullard, Shropshire County Council's communications officer for transport and highways, said: "We have also requested that the Safer Roads Partnership review this route for possible safety camera sites."
Corrine Thomas, 24, Robert McLoughlin, 19, and Kiera Smyth, 18, died in a crash on the A495 in May last year, between Whittington and Welsh Frankton.
Hayley Roberts, 17, died after a road accident on the A495 between Ellesmere and Whittington in December 2006.
North Shropshire MP Owen Paterson said: "I offer my sympathies to the families of all involved and I am very pleased that the county council have agreed to review this stretch of road."
