Hundreds of secondary students in Cavan and Monaghan were today faced with the hard reality of fatal traffic collisions today, in an effort to highlight road safety.
Over 300 transition year students took part in today’s road safety roadshow in the Íontas Centre in Castleblayney.
They were presented with the reality of what happens in a car crash, with presentations from An Gardaí, a paramedic, an undertaker, and Martina Crudden – who lost her son Daniel in 2011 in a car crash.
4 people have died on roads in Cavan and Monaghan this year alone, and today’s event was aimed at promoting road safety among young people before they start driving.
Sergeant Tony Campbell, who is one of the organisers behind today’s event says it’s important to get the road safety message out there before people learn to drive.
