Flowers have been left at the scene of a fatal crash in a Suffolk village.

Wrentham, with a population of less than 1,000, is bisected by the busy A12 connecting London and Lowestoft.

The road was closed in both directions on Friday afternoon (August 25) after a crash involving a pedestrian and a DAF lorry at the junction with Walker Gardens. 

The pedestrian - a man in his 60s - died at the scene.

On Sunday morning (August 27), flowers had been left at a bus stop opposite Walker Gardens.

Residents said the crash was not the result of speeding but that motorists driving above the speed limit is a problem in the village.

Amanda Gibson, 73, who owns Wren House Antiques and lives on High Street, said that she can hear traffic speeding along the road at night. 

"Not enough is being done to slow the traffic down," she said. 

"We said only a few weeks ago at a parish council meeting that they will do nothing until somebody is killed."

In July, Wrentham Parish Council discussed crashes in the village – especially at the Crossways junction where the roads to Beccles, Southwold and Covehithe converge with the A12.

Luke Pipe, 31, said the road is “dangerous” and that at nighttime some cars speed by at more than the 30mph limit. 

"We could do with having a speed camera and a zebra crossing to slow people coming through the village," he said.

Another man, who did not wish to be named, said: “It is a dangerous road because people will not observe the speed limit. It doesn’t matter what time of day it is. 

“It’s just horrendous some days. One neighbour said recently that it’s worse now than it ever was."

In September last year, a person had to be rescued from a car after a two-vehicle crash on the A12 in the village. 

Police are appealing for witnesses to Friday's incident. Anyone with information can contact the Joint Norfolk & Suffolk Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 101, quoting reference CAD 194 of August 25.
