Band backs road safety campaign

A Norfolk MP has joined a rock band in supporting a road safety campaign.
Dirty Pretty Things are promoting the Make Roads Safe campaign on their UK tour and perform in Norwich next week.

The band's commitment follows a car crash in Suffolk in July in which three teenagers were killed on their way home from one of the band's concerts.

The campaign urges world leaders to take action on road traffic injuries. Norwich South MP Charles Clarke said he congratulated everyone involved.

Driver Claire Stoddart, 18, her sister Jennifer, 15, and their friend Carla Took, 18, all from Lowestoft, Suffolk, died in the accident on the A12.

Carl Barat, lead singer of Dirty Pretty Things, said earlier that the deaths were "such a waste of young lives, and this is happening to families every day".
