Safety warnings over Gloucestershire road where four men died
Residents have been calling for safety improvements on a Gloucestershire road where four men died in a car crash.
Four men have died after a car crashed into a tree in Ullenwood, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
Police found the black Renault Clio on the A436 while on patrol shortly before 2am on Sunday. The vehicle had left the road and collided with a tree.
Anyone with information about the collision or with dashcam footage is asked to contact the police.
Paul Hodgkinson, the Gloucestershire County councillor for the area, said he did not know the circumstances of what happened on Sunday but that accidents and fatalities have happened on the road previously.
He said: "It's terrible, I was just horrified that four people have lost their lives and my heart goes out to their families, it really does.
"Certainly accidents have been a regular occurrence, with the road being exceptionally busy.
"One thing that I would say is that residents and I have called for ages for improvements to the road because we feel it is unsafe.
"We are still waiting for major improvements to happen."
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Gloucestershire County Council said: "We're saddened to hear about the tragic accident.
"It would be wrong to jump to any conclusions during an ongoing investigation.
"As with any incident of this kind we will conduct a review along with other agencies and take the necessary action where needed."
