Steven Mohabir was the only survivor in the vehicle he was in

A BMW crashed through the central reservation of the A23 at Pyecombe, near Brighton, into the path of oncoming cars on 16 May 2004.

The youngest of the eight victims was two-year-old Marcus Mohabir.

The Sussex Safety Camera Partnership says a camera is only installed after four serious accidents within a mile.

The emergency services described the crash as one of the most horrific they had seen and witnesses were offered counselling.

Marcus' father Steve, the only survivor, said speed cameras are the only way to slow people down.

"It makes me feel very angry and very disappointed that you've got so many people speeding."

Gloria Marshall lost both her son and daughter in the crash

Gloria Marshall, who lost two children in the crash, said: "Speed cameras save lives, they do slow people down, they do make people aware of the speed they are doing so speed cameras ultimately would be the best thing we could get."

Richard Andrews from the Sussex Safety Camera Partnership said: "The criteria is laid down by the government and this is something that is reviewed every year so we're certainly not going to rule it out indefinitely."

Five people in the BMW, all aged between 17 and 20, died in the collision.

They were Aaron Sharpe, 20, Mitch Treliving, 19, Katherine Sharpe, 18, Danielle Billingham 17, and Gemma Smoker, 17, all from the Crawley area.

Mr Mohabir, 36, and Marcus were in a Land Rover Freelander hit by the BMW, along with friends of the family Toby and Kate Beasley, who were also killed.

Mr Mohabir suffered a broken leg and elbow and internal injuries. His wife Tracy, 39, was at a wedding and was not involved in the crash.
