HIGHWAY chiefs could decide to cut the speed limit on a New Forest road where a top surgeon was killed.
Hampshire County Council is asking the New Forest National Park Authority and other organisations if the 50mph on the A337 south of Brockenhurst should be reduced to 40mph or even 30mph.
It follows the death of spinal expert Nick Boeree, a consultant at South-ampton General Hospital and the Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital in Chandler's Ford.
Mr Boeree, 53, was riding a Yamaha FJR motorbike when he was involved in a head-on crash with a Volvo lorry in March.
The accident happened on a sharp bend half a mile from the level crossing at Brockenhurst station.
There have been concerns about the speed of traffic and the number of accidents.
