Shock tactics show horror of road accidents

THE horror of road traffic accidents was graphically brought home to more than 1,500 second-level students in Tralee yesterday.

Many were brought to tears on hearing first-hand accounts from victims and family members of the devastation caused by car crashes.

Some of the real life images used to drive the safety message home included a human brain coming out of an injured skull, a barely recognisable thigh bone and a girl’s pretty face ruined after an accident.
