After the Crash

6 August 2024

This year Brake are putting road victims at the heart of Road Safety Week with their theme After the Crash .

The week, which runs 17-23 November is focused on raising awareness of the devastating toll of road crashes and celebrating the work of the people who come together to support families after a road death or serious injury.

Every year, more than 1700 people die on UK roads. Another 30,000 receive serious, life-changing injuries. Behind every number is a family in turmoil. A grief-stricken family trying to navigate its way through the complex procedures that often follow a road crash. Behind every number is a family whose lives have been changed forever in an instant.
