MOTHER-of-four Liese (corr) Hull returned from a Christmas break to find a car had crashed at the blackspot outside her home - for the second time in less than a year.

In April last year, a car spun out of control on the hairpin bend near a school on Brimscombe Hill and smashed into the wall of Ms Hull's home.

Three of her children were in the house at the time and were left shaken. After the crash, Ms Hull called for urgent action, fearing lives would be lost if nothing was done, and launched a safety campaign.

But on Thursday afternoon she was horrified to find her home was once again the scene of an accident.

"We were coming up the hill back from a break with relatives when we saw the fire crews and I thought oh no not again," said Ms Hull, 35.

"Something must be done to reduce the speed of traffic here," she said.

"If nothing is done someone will die, then it will be too late.

"It's near a school and children are always walking up the hill."

The accident happened at 2.15pm when a red Renault 19 being driven downhill by an 18-year-old Minchinhampton man was involved in a collision with a Ford Mondeo outside Ms Hull's front door.

It is believed the Mondeo was being driven by a mother who had three children in the car and was five-months pregnant.

No one was injured, but onlookers said the mother was extremely distressed.

Residents are surprised the police are not planning to investigate the crash.

One householder, who asked not to be named, said: "The lady involved was really shaken up.

"I saw the aftermath and can't believe the police are not going to investigate."

After the first accident, Ms Hull - whose children are Hannah, 15, Becky, 13, Emily, 11, and Jack, three - began a petition calling for safety measures and met with county highway chiefs.

She is particularly concerned because the road is used by parents and children from Brimscombe Primary School, which is just 100 yards from her home. Teachers also want traffic calming measures.

Ms Hull, who lives with partner Neil, also borrowed a speed gun.

"Drivers aren't actually speeding, it's just that the 30mph limit is way too fast for the road," she said.

"I want the speed lowered and flashing warning signs put up.

"The county council is talking about something happening in 2007 but we need it now."

She is planning another trip to Shire Hall to demand action.

Zoe Young, spokesman for Gloucestershire police, said the incident is not being investigated further because no criminal allegations have been made.

"For anything like this we leave it to the insurance companies unless any parties want to make allegations of a criminal act, which could be dangerous driving," she said.

"In this case no-one has done that."

However, she urged witnesses who hadn't yet spoken to officers to get in touch.
