SINN Féin Foyleside councillor Conor Heaney has called on the police and other statutory agencies to clamp down on death drivers who have been using the Springtown Road in recent weeks.
He said action needed to be taken before someone was killed.
Only this week – as the picture above shows – a family with a young child narrowly cheated death or serious injury when a stolen car smashed into their home.
“There has been a noticeable increase in death driving in the Springtown Road area in recent weeks, said Cllr Heaney.
“In the latest incident earlier this week a young family with a toddler escaped death or injury when a stolen car crashed into their house at Derrymore Park in the early hours of the morning.
“I have requested the Department for Infrastructure to assess what additional road safety measures can be installed in the area which would make it harder for the death drivers to operate.
“I have also spoken to the police and other agencies to ask them to proactively clamp down on these death drivers in the coming weeks.”
