A witness said: "I did report it to the police because the driver raced off which seemed suspicious.

"It was a small silver car but I couldn't get make because he drove off too quick.

"It won't be long before there is a serious accident or even a death on Falcon Drive, cars are always flying up and down, screeching and just driving like idiots. Something needs to be done."
