A VILLAGER has described the "carnage" after he saw a group of ducks get mown down by a speeding driver in Hanley Swan.

Duncan Williams, of Blackmore Park Road, was driving home from Worcester at around 8pm on Thursday, June 2, when he saw the car plough into a group of ducks stood at the crossroads of the B4209, killing three.

The incident moved village shop owner Rosalind Davies to kick-start a petition to get traffic calming measures installed along the road - and she has already got hundreds of signatures.

Mr Williams said: "I saw this car coming down at a rate of knots. I thought I had better wait and within the same blink all these ducks came. She just ploughed through the ducks and they went over the roodfand under the wheels."

Mr Williams reported the incident to the police after following and speaking to the driver with another couple.

He said: "All I could see was the carcasses and carnage of these animals. That could have easily bee children feeding the ducks. Something needs to be done about this."

When I first saw it I assumed something similar Clumsy, as he is watching the camera person so intently - maybe someone is holding some kind of treat for the pup.

Those poor ducks.

I know some people will think I am daft getting so upset about a few birds but to me such callous actions signify a total disregard for living creatures who add beauty to our lives...
