July has the highest numbers of deaths on our roads - Sussex Police

(C) Sussex Police 2024

A warning from Sussex Police about the 'fatal five' things causing deaths or serious injuries on our roads.

They're highlighting the dangers of speeding, driving under the influence of drink or drugs, not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile phone and careless and antisocial driving.

National figures show July is the month when the highest number of deaths and serious injuries happen on our roads.

 

The mum of a boy who was tragically killed by a dangerous driver has shown her support for the summer road safety campaign.

Harry Dennis was just 11-years-old when he was involved in a collision with a scaffolding lorry at Hooe, East Sussex, on December 15, 2022.

The lorry driver had failed to secure the load being carried, and a scaffold board became loose before striking through the windscreen of the vehicle Harry was travelling in, causing fatal injuries.

His mum Maria Dennis is now supporting Operation Spotlight, Sussex Police’s campaign to improve road safety and catch offenders who pose a risk to themselves and others on the roads.
