CAMPAIGNERS have renewed calls for action on a 'death trap' stretch of road in Hoyland following another accident last weekend.
Residents of Wentworth Station on the A6135 say it has a long history of accidents resulting in deaths and serious injuries. They say it has claimed 15 lives in 32 years.
Last Saturday there was a collision on the road at about 1pm involving two vans. Paramedics attended.
Rockingham councillor Chris Lamb said local councillors had tried on numerous occasions to get the speed limit reduced on this stretch of the A6135.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
