Cheshire Police at the Cheshire Show
A badly-damaged car will be a central
feature of the Cheshire Police exhibit at the Cheshire
Show.
The vehicle was being driven in Cheshire when it left
the road and hit a tree, killing the
driver. He died just two days before his 21st
birthday.
Cheshire's Assistant Chief Constable Ruth Purdie said,
We are inviting people to talk to Police Officers about the
importance of driving carefully and responsibly
and the possible consequences of even a momentary lapse of
concentration or a small misjudgement.
In particular we hope that young people and their parents will
talk to us. We don't want to scare anyone away
from driving but we believe the sight of the car and learning what
happened to that young man will underline the message in a way that
nothing else could.
