A GRIEVING son who tragically lost his mother after she was hit by a lorry has called for safety improvements on the road where she died.

Enid Mavis Everill was killed after she was hit by a lorry on Bridge Road, Woolston.

Now her son, Brennig Bidder, said he is launching a campaign to improve safety at the crossroad where she died to avoid another accident happening.

Mr Bidder, 29, said: “This road is dangerous something needs to be done about it, it is stupid – cars just do what they want, there is a cycle box and cars just go into it.

“I have been coming to this road everyday since Friday because I know my mum died here and this was where she took her final breath.

“The things I have seen drivers do is stupid, a car nearly took me and a police officer out while we were stood here.

“I want to start a campaign and I want something to be done about this junction.

“There should be cameras that watch the junction and put some road markings on the road because at the moment traffic is going everywhere.”

Southampton transport boss Councillor Jacqui Rayment said a review of the layout would take place following the accident.

As previously reported in the Daily Echo, Enid, 61, died at 12.20pm on Friday after she was struck by a lorry.

Her son said the tragedy occurred on the busy crossroad between Bridge Road, Victoria Road and Portsmouth road.

Mr Bidder, a roofer from Weston, said: “She was with a friend who lives down there and she was just out enjoying the nice weather on Friday.

“She meant the world to everyone in this community and when I found out I was shocked and really confused. I felt like my life emptied, I feel empty inside without my mum.

“I don’t know what to do, I feel lost because my mum was my guidance.

“My stepson is devastated because he lost his nan, his world is upside down now.”

He is now launching a petition to try and get better traffic calming measures put in place on the junction as well as clear road markings showing where traffic should go.

Cllr Rayment, the cabinet member for environment and transport at Southampton City Council, said: “In the light of the tragic incident officers will be reviewing the street scheme to ensure signage is appropriate.”
