road accident

If you have ever been in or seen a road collision, you know just how much destruction it can cause, even on heavy vehicles. It comes as no surprise then that riding a motorcycle with less weight and very little protection for the rides is even more deadly. Matt, Anna, and Tim are joined by a survivor, Steve Page who collided with an SUV towing a horse float 5 years ago. With SAPOL’s campaign on road safety for motorcyclists, “Love Riding? Back Off”, Scott shares his story about trauma and explains why he’s one of the lucky ones.

Goregaon के Aarey Colony में Potholes ने किया लोगों को परेशान 

अब कार की पिछली सीट पर बैठे पैसेंजर को भी सीट बेल्ट लगाना जरूरी होगा। ऐसा नहीं किया तो फाइन भरना होगा। ऐसा हम नहीं बल्कि केंद्रीय सड़क परिवहन मंत्री नितिन गडकरी ने मंगलवार को एक इंटरव्यू के दौरान ऐलान किया है. नितिन गडकरी ने कहा कि, जिस तरह कार में आगे बैठे पैसेंजर के सीट बेल्ट नहीं लगाने पर अलार्म बजता है, ऐसा ही सिस्टम अब पिछली सीट पर बैठे पैसेंजर के लिए भी होगा। इसके लिए कार कंपनियों को निर्देश दिया जाएगा। गडकरी के इस ऐलान को मिस्त्री के निधन से जोड़कर देखा जा रहा है. टाटा संस के पूर्व अध्यक्ष साइरस मिस्त्री का मंगलवार को मुंबई में अंतिम संस्कार kiyaa गया. महाराष्ट्र के पालघर जिले में रविवार दोपहर को हुई सड़क दुर्घटना में मिस्त्री और उनके दोस्त जहांगीर पंडोले की मौत हो गई थी. वे दोनों दक्षिण गुजरात स्थित udvada से लौट रहे थे, जो पारसी धर्म के लोगों के लिए सबसे पवित्र स्थल maana jaata है. ये दुर्घटना आखिर कैसे हुई इसको लेकर अब अलग-अलग सवाल उठाए जा रहे हैं. इस हादसे का जांच कर रही फॉरेंसिक टीम ने दावा किया है कि सड़क पर बने ब्रिज के डिज़ाइन में कुछ गड़बड़ियां है और इसी के चलते ये दुर्घटना हुई. 

In this podcast, Accredited Personal Injury Law Specialist and BPC Lawyers Partner, Courtenay Poulden explains where does the law stand in relation to compensation for injuries sustained in a bicycle accident.

Kerryn Harvey was a triathlete and after a 2013 cycling accident in the Adelaide Hills, Australia, she contracted a flesh eating bacteria, referred to as Necrotizing Fasciitis resulting in a four quarter arm amputation which includes her whole arm, shoulder and some chest and back muscles.

With toxic shock and organ failure, Kerryn’s loved ones had to decide whether to amputate to try and save her life, or say their goodbyes. Fortunately for Kerryn, her friends knew just how strong she was and knew that when she woke up, she would make the most of her life, no matter what.

In this episode you will hear Kerryn’s story of survival against all odds. In fact, she had less than a 5% chance of living but the incredible medical team at the Royal Adelaide Hospital not only saved her life, but were the inspiration for Kerryn to give back when she got back on that bike.  Kerryn raised a significant amount of money for research at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and began the Start Foundation. A charity that helps amputees to afford the prosthetics, equipment or modifications needed in order to play sport.

Kerryn has gone on to achieve more personal goals and now holds a world ranking as a paratriathlete. Nothing stops this woman from giving it her all. She is now a personal trainer, an inspiring sportswoman and a force of nature.

Lisa and Nigel speak with Greater Shepparton's leading senior constable, Glenn Gibson who is also part of the local crime prevention team. One prevention that Constable Glenn is passionate about is road safety and in this episode he speaks about the Cool Heads young driver program.

Road safety is at the forefront of the minds of police and emergency services as the world is opening up. As we get back on the roads to visit family and friends, the people who protect us and care for us are praying that the road accident numbers don't spike during this season of celebration and socialising.

In 2020 the number of lives lost on Victorian roads was 211 with 159 of those being male in comparison to 52 females. A massive difference. Another major difference is how many more lives are lost on rural Victorian roads in comparison to Metropolitan.
