POLICE CHIEFS and road safety experts will be shining a light on bad driving in an effort to reduce the number of road related deaths.
‘Operation Illuminate’ will aim to reduce fatalities and road casualties through education and intervention work from the South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership.
Chief Inspector Glen Suttenwood, Head of Roads Policing for South Yorkshire and Humberside, said:
“Forty eight people died in fatal collisions on South Yorkshire’s roads last year - nearly double that of the previous year – resulting in a huge amount of pain and heartache for so many people.
“The focus of Operation Illuminate will be to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads and to prevent the devastating impact that the loss of a loved one has on individuals and families.”
