No the pics were taken 8 miles away from the scene (at recovery company's pound), lacal paper photographer was there too - we both asked for permission to take pics.

Thing is, the LOCALS (including me) are trying to reduce the speed of this road down to a 30 MPH and waaay before the bend (it is 60 MPH at the bend - then 40 MPH after). And even with 5 - 6 accidents like this a year the local council wont listen to us. So we send them pics after every crash.
If I am honest I did sort of wonder why so graphic- but I get it now.

When I rolled my car ( as mentioned earlier) There were 3 other fatal crashs around the same 6 week period and many more accidents and deaths.

4 years later (12 mths ago now) and they have installed Safety barriers, lowered the speed limit from NAtional to 50 and installed 2 speed cameras at the 2 junctions which created the accidents. They have also put up a sign which reads somet like
14 deaths
55 serious injuries
103 None serious injuries
1 year
Please drive carefully


Good luck with your campaign
