VIDEO: Tributes left to Mansfield man after fatal crash

Tributes have been left to the man who died in a freak accident on Peafield Lane.

Flowers have been left at the site on Peafield Lane after the one-vehicle crash on Saturday, March 11.

One personal memento was left by a friend, addressed: "To Daz, the closest person to a real brother."

The man hasn't been named official but is understood to be a married father who lived in the Mansfield area.

Calls have been made for a road safety investigation after the second fatal crash on the same road in five weeks.

Peafield Lane was criticised on social media as a ‘horrible’, road after a motorcyclist was killed on Saturday, March 11.

No other vehicles are involved and authorities are investigating the safety of the road, as the crash comes only five weeks after 16-year-old Lewis Crouch was killed on February 3.

His parents were among the first to call for action in light of this latest accident.

It is understood the man's family and friends have been informed, but he has not been named by authorities.

Mum Cheryl Broughton said: “Yet another accident. Just over five weeks ago we lost our son on that road. Something needs to be done.”

Witness Michele Gooding, 54, was first on the scene.

The grandmother of three, a cook from Mansfield Woodhouse, said: “I saw the bike and somebody was on the grass verge. My heart fell when this happened. I’m just thinking about the family and how hard it must be for them at this time. I think speed cameras should be in place - I know it’s a 50mph limit along that road but I’ve seen many overtaking, be it a car or motorcycle."

Resident on the road, Patrick Kielty, 32, has led calls for more enforcement as Peafield is plagued by dangerous driving.

If you wish to leave any tributes please do in the comments.

The motorcyclist who runs a body jewelry firm, said: “This is so sad, and too close to home again.

“Just last week we counted, in seven minutes, 22 people using their phones going up Peafield Lane in rush hour traffic.

“It’s a race track at night, cars scream around the corners.”

"Multiple cars drive down towards Leeming Lane on the wrong side of the road daily, it has become a race track at night.

"Whinney hill is now seen as a short cut around the lights, so cars go screaming up there, and there is a twit that power-slides out of the side road every day and evening."

Nottinghamshire County Councillor for Peafields, Joyce Bosnejak said she will make sure an investigation into the safety of the road is undertaken.

She said: “We need to examine the road surface to determine in both instances if the road had any part to play. I’m really concerned by this and we know that people do speed on this road, and the speed limit doesn’t always slow traffic.

"I’m sure the family is extremely distressed and I can’t begin to know what they’re feeling, but we will ensure to investigate this accident and if there is anything the County Council could have done to prevent this. That’s what I will be fighting for.”

Police are appealing for witnesses and motorists who may have dashcam footage of the area preceding the crash, at about 3.30pm.

Detective Sergeant Ash Thornton from Nottinghamshire Police said: “We are keen to speak to the occupants of a black or grey Range Rover-type vehicle that we believe was travelling along Peafield.”

Anyone with information should call 101, quoting incident 548 of March 11.
