Ok so I still call them RTA's but we should refer to them as RTC's according to the powers that be:evil: Any way here is a shot from the other day of a 2 vehicle RTA;) that my station attended. The guy in the Escort was released after the roof was removed and as you can see the Police were treating the incident as "likely to prove Fatal" Glad to say word has come through that the driver was not as serious as first thought and is likely to make a full recovery. Anyway local rag have paid me for this one so thought I would stick it up here for your thoughts, all C&C welcome.
Cheers Ricky

RTC ? Road traffic collision ? Our term over here for "Released" is extricated
Difference in terms is always interesting. Thanks for posting

How do 2 cars seem to hit head on there? I see the road has a white stripped line. One was on the wrong side of the road obviously. What makes it interesting is that both cars have skid marks angling towand one another. (going from left to right in the photo)

Looks like the Escort kept going straight after the corner and cross the white lines, interesting shot nonetheless

Have to ask.. Have you seen "Hot Fuzz"? They make fun of the whole RTA/RTC thing in a scene, IIRC.
