Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, who delivered the session, brought with them a crashed car from a speeding young driver who tragically died at the wheel. He was going too fast, his car hit a tree and he died instantly. The message was very powerful and brought home to our pupils the fragility of life and the dangers of the roads. We hope the message will be sobering and long-lasting for them.
