One resident said: “There were two ambulances and paramedics here earlier when the road was closed. I hope anyone involved is okay.”

Another resident added: “I saw somebody lying in the ground- there were at least three ambulances.

"The ambulances were coming during the school run around 2.45pm down Shrubbery Lane. It’s awful, makes you feel sick actually.”
