Hallam Car Wreck

Crash Rescue at Hallam University

A Valentines Day tragedy was played out at Hallam University as the smashed wreck of a Corsa was attended to by fire crews and paramedics urgently trying to save the two young casualties, one of whom had been thrown out the windscreen and was lying on the bonnet.

The pictures show the bloodshed and the broken mess of what happens when young drivers take risks on the road.

However, it was all part of a staged reconstruction to help people consider what can go wrong in the event of a car crash.

Organised by the fire service and Sheffield road safety officers, the event was part of the Love2B celebration.
Paramedic staff were trainees from the university, who helped rescue the two actors covered in theatrical blood.
