Road safety campaigners have called for more high-visibility roads policing in the wake of four deaths, including two children, in the last 24 hours in separate road tragedies.

Parc road safety, which helps the families of those affected by serious road traffic collisions, said driver education is also vital to halt the increase in road deaths, with 108 lives lost on the roads so far this year, 14 more than for the same period last year, with eight deaths alone so far this month.
