A double fatal crash yesterday, another "serious" today... - neither of which CSCP could have prevented, you'll understand...
Attended both as FLO (Family Liaison Officer). First one was tragic.
Second could have been much worse......... I was asked to attend a report of a 12 year old child who had both legs crushed by an HGV in Carlisle. Witnesses said she had gone under the wheels. I was told the HGV dragged her for 50 yards, only stopping because he heard her screaming. When I got there the kid was in hospital. The OIC told me the paramedics said it's serious. He said touch and go.
So I braced myself to tell the parents. But they had already found out and were en route to CIC. I went to meet them there, but Carlisle was gridlock. It took me over half an hour to get to the hospital. On arrival I went straight to A&E where I knew the ward sister. I said, are the parents here. She said "No, they've taken her home" I said "No, were obviously talking cross purposes, the little lass who was crushed by the HGV, has she gone to a ward? She said, No, her mother has come and taken her home, she had cuts and bruises, nothing more."
The emotional relief I felt must have been as nothing compared to that experienced by her parents!!
