Crash Live 2013 was a community partnership event that demonstrated how the emergency services deal with serious road traffic collisions. It was held at Thainstone Mart, Inverurie on 17th September.

The event included:

  • Road safety presentations from:
    • Neil Robertson from Police Scotland described likely causation factors in road traffic collisions.
    • Paul Geddes from the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service described his organisation's involvement in relation to road safety matters and their role in relation to serious road traffic collisions.
    • Mark Bloch from NHS Grampian also described his organisation's involvement in relation to road safety matters and their role in relation to serious road traffic collisions.
  • Real-time demonstration of the emergency services response to a serious road traffic collision.
  • A question and answer session.
  • Information Stalls.

Alex Carnie from Police Scotland, who organised the event said:

"The evening went very well with a healthy attendance from people not only from Garioch but also a wider catchment area. It was an opportunity for the public to not only receive these safety messages but also speak to various organisations on the evening regarding the subject of road safety and also see first hand how the emergency services respond to serious road traffic collisions and what work is carried out at same."

The event was attended by around 150 people.
