One said: “We need metal barriers. I have seen umpteen cars crash outside my house over the years. The last one just a couple of months ago. Maybe speed humps would do the trick.”

The Ambulance Service said it sent an ambulance, air ambulance and clinical supervisor but they were not required to treat any patients.
