It happened at the steep T-intersection bordering Lord Baden Powell Drive just outside the house of Leonard Pearson, who heard the bang and came running.

Mr Pearson said he has lived at that address for 25 years and has seen that same intersection claim dozens of cars, trucks, and even a fire engine, which flipped over due to the incline.

"They should have lights or something here. There've been that many accidents, it's a regular thing," Mr Pearson said.

"A while back there was a young girl on a motorbike who got wiped out, scattered all over the road. It's just ridiculous, they've got to do something."

Down the road is resident Jacob Chapple, who said he had seen five or six accidents happen outside his house during the last two years he had lived there.

Mr Chapple said one crash happened just outside his driveway when a car rear ended another car, shunting it down the road.

On one occasion he had to write-off his own car when it was T-boned while his partner was exiting the driveway one morning for work.

He said it was a constant worry, give the long unbroken nature of Lake Albert Road combined with the hilly incline making visibility difficult.

"Honestly, this road is going to kill someone. They need to do something about it, but council want nothing to do with it," Mr Chapple said.

"We've threatened legal action against council, and they're like 'go for it, we'll win', and they probably will."

Mr Chapple said the long, straight road made it a hotspot for hoons, who would drag race down the strip during the nighttime, awakening the neighbourhood.

He said he would continue demanding council to slow down traffic in that area.

One of the victims of Wednesday's crash was 89-year-old Jean Ahearn, who is turning 90 next week.

She said she found herself trapped between vehicles, with one car ramming into her side and sending her vehicle careening sideways.

"I got a big fright. You couldn't go anywhere - cars behind, they smashed into him as well," Ms Ahearn said.

"He turned my car right around, my car was up on that [traffic island]."

Speaking to The Daily Advertiser in the aftermath of the incident, Ms Jean said she was a little rattled but otherwise unharmed.

Another man in a car and a driver in a butcher van were also caught up in the collision, with one person being taken to Wagga Base Hospital in a stable condition.

All three vehicles were damaged, but none of the people involved received any serious injuries.

Council was contacted for comment but was unable to respond by time of writing.

However, council have previously committed to fixing Lake Albert Road, with $3.6 million in state government funds set aside to fill potholes, fix damaged guttering, and replace the entire surface.
