Beverly Spratt, Dickleburgh and Rushall Parish Council chairman said: "My sympathies go with the family, the road is not a blackspot and there aren't many accidents there on that road, but it must be absolutely horrible for the family, my thoughts are with them."

Local parish councillor, Jim Kerr said: "I've lived here ten years and that's been the first incident I've known on that round about, although there is a crossroads further down which can be dangerous."
