Four families who have all lost loved ones as a result of collisions have added their voice to the campaign, which is being led by charity RoadPeace
Four bereaved families have joined forces with a national charity to launch a campaign highlighting what they call "the failings of the UK justice system" in passing adequate sentences for motorists who cause death by dangerous driving. RoadPeace, the national charity for road crash victims, has today launched the 'Fix our Broken Justice System' campaign.
Debbie Clack and Donna Barnham, from Surrey, bereaved Mum and Aunt of Lillie Clack - On Christmas Eve in 2021, Lillie, her boyfriend and friend had been out in London and accepted a lift home from Charlie Hilton. Unbeknown to them, he had been drinking that day and was over the drink-drive limit. On June 20, 2023, he was jailed for 10-and-a-half years after he admitted three counts of causing death by dangerous driving. He was also disqualified from driving for 15 years.
Nick Simmons, CEO of RoadPeace, said: "Every day on the UK's roads, around five people are killed and more than 60 are seriously injured in collisions. More than twice as many people are killed on the UK's roads each year than as a result of murder and terrorism combined.
