Causing Death by Dangerous Driving

Following the death of her beloved father in a vehicular accident in 2004 the driver of the second vehicle was charged with 'Causing Death by Dangerous Driving'. S and her family together with the defendant and her family were involved in a CRJ coordinated restorative meeting (case study). Increased levels of understanding were achieved, particularly for the defendant who was supported through input from the bereaved family with regard to the enormous impact of the loss on their lives.

Following the conclusion of the case in the justice arena, S began production of an online interactive web site, dedicated to personal experience, dialogue, increasing awareness and improving road safety.

CRJ has been pleased to support Journey Beyond Road Trauma since its inception and encourages dialogue and constructive interaction as positive actions towards reducing the impact of road trauma on families and the community.
