On
average, 5 people are killed and around 80 people are seriously injured on the
UK’s roads every day. RoadPeace, the
national charity for road crash victims, founded National Road Victim Month in
1998 in order to raise awareness of this and to support the victims and/or
their families. They also aim to honour
the work of the emergency services who respond to road collisions, as well as
the staff of emergency departments who try relentlessly to save road traffic
victims.
