| Fatal collisions are an all-too-common tragedy on the county’s roads.
But how are they dealt with by police and what is the impact on those nearest and dearest to the victims? A podcast that answers those questions has received nearly 2,000 listens since it was released as part of our Cambs Cops: Our Stories series in August. It sets the words of experienced road policing officer Mark Dollard alongside those of Claire Danks, whose 22-year-old daughter Lauren was killed in an horrific crash caused by a drink driver in 2016. Mark explains the mental processes that allow him take the emotion and confusion out of what can be devastating scenes, while Claire bravely recollects the moments when she first became aware something wasn’t right. She goes on to speak movingly about the impact of the loss, which felt like someone “dropping a bomb” on her family. And she makes a heartfelt plea to anyone else considering getting behind the wheel while over the limit.
