Police called to break up car meet on A52 following crash

A car crashed while attending a car meet in an area of Nottinghamshire where people have become "fed up" with car enthusiasts. The collision happened after 9pm on Saturday, January 7 at the Nottingham Knight Island on the A52, where a number of cars had met up.

The crash was described as "very minor" by Nottinghamshire Police, which said no one was injured. They then moved on the group of vehicles.

A spokesperson for Nottinghamshire Police said: "We were called to the Nottingham Knight Island on the A52 at just after 9pm. A number of cars were present and there had been a very minor RTC.

"There were no injuries. The car was cleared and the other vehicles were moved on."

One resident said locals were "fed up" with the car meets. In October, Nottinghamshire Police attempted to clamp down on large groups of car enthusiasts causing issues for residents nearby.

Officers from the Rushcliffe neighbourhood policing team were deployed and told to focus patrols on the A52 between Gamston and Edwalton and the A453 Ratcliffe-on-Soar. Multiple reports of residents’ concerns have been made recently of inconsiderate driving, an increase in noise, and vehicles causing issues for other road users and local people.
