CRASHES DESTROY SO MUCH MORE THAN CARS

Everyone has witnessed the aftermath of a road crash, most people have seen smashed up cars and burnt out vehicles strewn across a road, but not many have been close enough to see the destruction to the lives of those left behind by fatal road crashes.

Edwina Gray is a mum of three in her mid thirties with an infectious energy, and the ability to see the funny side of almost anything. Meeting her for the first time, you would never know that she has spent the past three years climbing out of an abyss of grief.

On May 2nd 2003, her husband Phil kissed her good-bye and left to catch the early train to London from Ashford. A short time later, Edwina heard the sound of police sirens and hoped in the back of her mind that it wasn't Phil. When the police officer walked up to her front door, her entire world changed forever.

You can read Edwina's story, or, you can hear Edwina's story, in her own words on the attached downloadable files.
