He suffered a fractured shoulder and the lamb was killed.
County councillor, John Shuttleworth said: “They travel too fast and don’t respect the villages, every year flowers are laid for people and people don’t learn. Respect the speed limit and the road.”

A police spokesperson tweeted: “The message is simple folks, slow down.”
