DRIVERS in the Bolton area are being urged not to get carried away in the spring weather by speeding on the roads.
The North West Air Ambulance, which covers the region from its Blackpool base, has been called out to six serious road accidents in the last few weeks.
Operations manager and paramedic Paul West commented: "To be called out to so many serious accidents in such a short space of time is unusual. Unfortunately, we deal with serious trauma and death on a regular basis, but usually it is the summer months when we see a significant increase in road traffic accidents.
"With Easter and the holidays fast approaching, we urge road users to concentrate fully, ensure speed limits are adhered to and give some consideration to other road users and pedestrians alike."
