Emergency services in the north-east joined forces at the weekend to crack down on antisocial driving.
Police officers, fire crews, ambulance teams and community safety groups turned out at Huntly Fire Station to raise awareness of road safety and dangerous driving.
Following a short presentation from each service, a highly realistic crash was staged in the grounds of the fire station, showing how each of the emergency services deals with a serious road collision from start to finish.
The event was organised as part of Operation Collinsville, an exercise launched in March 2014 to tackle antisocial driving in Huntly and Alford after residents highlighted a number of problem areas.
Last month, 14 high visibility road signs were put up to warn motorists of potential danger.
Sergeant Andy Sawers said the operation was proving to be successful in reducing incidents of poor driving standards.
He said events such as Saturday’s one often brought it home to people how dangerous the roads could be.
He added: “This type of event is a positive step to ensure we get the message across on the dangers of antisocial and inappropriate driving.
“Operation Collinsville is currently ongoing within the South Marr area and is proving to be very successful in reducing incidents of poor driving standards through education at the roadside.
“A further event is planned for Alford later in the year.”
