A MAINTENANCE worker has suffered serious injuries in yet another crash on a stretch of road near Helston that in the past few weeks alone has claimed two lives and been the scene of a number of other accidents.
The roadside worker - a 57-year-old man from Beacon, near Camborne - was airlifted to hospital with serious leg injuries on Tuesday morning after being struck by a car while operating a manual traffic control sign near the Stopgate turning to Porthleven on the A394 Helston to Penzance Road.
He was part of a Cormac team attempting to improve the safety of the road by clearing ditches along the wooded stretch at Little Antron, where two people were killed in a horrific accident last month.
County highways bosses have said the area is not a collision blackspot, but county councillor Phil Martin, whose land borders the crash site, has been leading a campaign to highlight the true number of accidents on the road.
