Speeding driver mows down ducks

Police urge calm on roads

Traffic officers in the south say they've been forced to carry out additional speed checks after a number of ducks were mowed down.

Police received a report earlier of three birds being hit by a driver traveling excessively fast near Silverdale on Phildraw Road.

They've branded the incident 'unacceptable' in a 30mph zone, and said it could have been worse.

The road is frequently used by farmers to transport livestock.
