    “Anth, Scunthorpe
    The report clearly states that the accident took place on Grayingham Road, NOT the A15.”

    “Yet another accident on this road which desperately needs making into a dual carriageway from the M180 To Lincoln.
    How many more people have to be injured or worse before the powers to be realise it?
    Hoping those involved today make a speedy and full recovery.”
