Permanent memorial to road traffic victims opens in Warwickshire
- Published
The memorial will stand in Hartshill Hayes Country Park in Warwickshire
A public memorial to all those killed or seriously injured on a county's roads is set to be unveiled later.
It has been commissioned by Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership (WRSP).
The Hartshill Hayes Country Park site, in north Warwickshire, will offer a "peaceful location" to remember family or friends affected by a road crash, said the partnership.
It will help raise awareness of the people who needlessly die, it added.
Police and crime commissioner and WRSP chair Philip Seccombe said: "It is so important that we never forget those lives lost or injured in a collision and can honour their memories.
"Every person harmed in this way is one too many and this is something as a partnership we are working hard to try and change, encouraging safer road use for all."
Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership has also created an online space, external where you can leave a tribute to someone lost in a road traffic collision.
