"The poll it was on ended up past my place in the ditch," he said. "Isn't it about time we had a speed camera on this road?

"There isn't one from Mablethorpe to Skegness.

"This is the worst crash we have seen here.

"If the neighbour had been putting a bin out he might have been killed. It could have been lost.

"The police should come and do a speed check - the times we have heard screeches because people are going around the corner too fast.

"There is a 40mph limit but this is the race track end of the village. People think they have passed through the village and put their foot down.

"If they stuck to the limit they would be fine but they don't."

Lincolnshire Police have confirmed a 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving over the prescribed limit and was taken into custody.
