A County Durham woman who was lucky to survive a serious three-car collision has visited the base of the charity who came to her aid 19 years ago.
Victoria Beardmore, from Newton Hall, Durham, was only 20 years old when she was involved in a horrific collision with two other vehicles on the A688 bypass near Spennymoor.
Recalling the incident, which happened in September 2003, she said: “I was on my way to work, going from Spennymoor to Bishop Auckland on a road that’s known as the mad mile. There was a car trying to overtake me, but there was already one overtaking, and I thought they were going to crash, then I can’t remember anything after that.”
