A car crashing on Saturday night in Arataki has resulted in pleas from residents for greater speed and safety measures to be introduced.

The vehicle crash has occurred on the corner of Lambeth Tce and Gloucester Rd.

It is understood that the vehicle crashed through one fence and gate into a driveway and finally came to rest up against another fence at Health 4 U on Gloucester Rd.

A Lambeth Tce resident says that it 'looks as though they have failed to take the corner and gone through the gate and fence.

'The neighbours immediately next to the premises were woken by the crash. Very drunk young woman in her parent's car – she begged for police not to be called as they are away for the weekend.

'[She] didn't appear to be injured. Speed and careless driving is an issue down this street,” says the Lambeth Tce resident. 'It was great when Exeter Street was closed off due to the road works, not as much traffic.

'This is the third time I've seen a car through a fence in this very short street. Surprised there haven't been speed bumps or something put in.”

Street residents say that their road is treated like part of a racing circuit.

'We honestly hear the cars tearing down this road ALL the time - we just brace ourselves for the bang,” says one resident from Lambeth Tce.

'It's such a short street, but they treat it like part of a racing circuit with Eversham Rd, and a short cut through to the expressway.

'It would be really great if they looked into safety improvements!”

Police also report that a car hit a tree on Doncaster Dr on Saturday night.

The Doncaster Dr crash was reported to Police around 12am. There were no reports of any injuries or road blocks.
