A woman who suffered a fractured skull when a car crashed into her house has welcomed a promise of action to cut speed on the road outside.
Rubina Pathan was hit by masonry when the car came off Hungarton Boulevard, Leicester, on 18 April last year.City mayor Peter Soulsby visited Mrs Pathan and said the out-of-date road design must be addressed.The mother of two was sleeping downstairs with her family during Ramadan when the car struck their property.But Mrs Pathan suffered serious head injuries and had to have emergency surgery.
"It is not just the young drivers, it is the professional drivers, driving for various companies at night and because the roads are empty, they put their feet down." Mrs Pathan has helped organise a petition and has addressed the city council to call for more safety work in the area.He said: "It is a very busy road designed a number of years ago at a time when frankly they didn't take as much care for the safety of people who lived here.
"They were focussed on getting the traffic through as fast and efficiently as possible - we need to redress that balance."
