Crashes ‘common’ on bend near Harrogate village, says residentA resident near Bedlam has said crashes on a sharp bend near the village are a “common occurrence” after a car went through a fence yesterday.
Emergency services were called on Friday evening when a Peugeot 207 crashed into the fence on the B6165 between Ripley and Bedlam.
The incident left one lane passable as North Yorkshire Police dealt with the incident.
A resident who lives near Bedlam village told the Stray Ferret that locals had been campaigning for a reduced speed limit on the bend for the last 12 months.
The car crashed into the fence on the B6165 outside Ripley.
The resident, who did not wish to be named, said:
“Locals of Bedlam have recently been campaigning to have the speed limit reduced because it has become a common occurrence.”
The stretch of road is just before Whipley Bank heading into the village and is a national speed limit route.
However, crashes on the road are common according to locals.

Last July, villagers in nearby Burnt Yates wrote to North Yorkshire County Council calling for a reduction in the speed limit on the B6165.
Loraine and Sid Hines, who have lived in Burnt Yates for 30 years, were worried that speeding cars and ‘boy racers’ would cause serious injury or death.
The speed limit through Burnt Yates is 30mph, with a 20mph section near the school. However, the section of the B6165 leaving the village has a 50mph limit and Ms Hines said more vehicles were exceeding this in recent years.
At the time, North Yorkshire County Council told the Stray Ferret it did not support a reduction in the speed limit.
