DID A POLICING FAILURE LEAD TO FOUR DEATHS IN NORTH WALES THIS MORNING?
08 January 2006 - Safe Speed

The BBC reports that four cyclists were killed In North Wales after a car lostcontrol on ice.

Normally this would just be a terrible tragedy, but if the BBC report is correct, Police attended an accident on the same road an hour earlier, also due to ice.

Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed road safety campaign (www.safespeed.org.uk) said: ''Initial reports suggest that North Wales police had an opportunity to prevent this tragedy but failed to take it.

They could have warned traffic, closed the road or called in the gritters.

They should know how unpredictable icy road surfaces can be.

Did they really know the danger and walk away? Safe Speed demands a full public investigation.''
