In the aftermath of the crash, a petition was launched which gained nearly 7,000 signatures calling for the Isle of Wight Council to install traffic lights on the crossroads, in a bid to improve safety and prevent further collisions. Accident data from the Isle of Wight Council and Island Roads show there is a 'high probability' of a crash occurring at that junction at least once every year, and it is 'likely' that between 25 and 50 per cent of those accidents could kill or seriously injure someone. In the last five years, seven recorded collisions have happened at the junction — one fatal and three serious — with six of those collisions involving vehicles exiting Whitehouse Road on to Forest Road.
