Safety measures on a death-trap road which has claimed three more lives may not be considered for up to four months.

Nothing will be done in Queensway, St Leonards, until inquiries into what caused last Monday night's triple-fatal crash have been completed.

But the family of 13-year-old Aaron Hogg, who died alongside two men, say more people could perish on the treacherous 60mph stretch in that time.

His mother Sheena Hogg, 36, has collected 150 signatures for a petition demanding immediate road improvements.

She hopes authorities will support her call for speed cameras or a lowering of the limit.

Her fight is being backed by Hastings and Rye Labour MP Michael Foster who lives in Hollington, within two miles of the crash scene.

Mrs Hogg, of Whatlington Way, St Leonards, said: "Nobody can guarantee another little boy like Aaron won't be killed in the four months it will take until investigations have finished.

"We need something done now and I'm making it my lifetime ambition to make sure it happens so nobody has to go through what my family are."

Queensway, to the north of Hastings and St Leonards, has no street lights at the point where the smash happened.

Eight people have been killed on it in five years. Mr Foster said a road with such an appaling crash record deserved a speed-limit review.

However, East Sussex County Council has said it cannot comment on any future plans for Queensway until inquiries have ended.

Meanwhile, Mrs Hogg revealed Aaron would be buried beside his grandmother at a date to be decided.

Mrs Hogg said: "We want to give him the very best send-off. But my most important task now is to ensure Aaron's death is the last on that road."
