Photographic Exhibition at Oxo Tower Gallery shows horror of car crashes and impact on people's lives

Opening & Media viewing: Thursday, 5 January 2006, 1pm-4pm

Exhibition open daily from 6- 29 January, 11am - 6pm, Free Admission

Venue: Oxo Tower Wharf: Bargehouse Street, South Bank, London SE1

The 'When Lives Collide' photographic exhibition by award-winning commercial photographer Paul Wenham-Clarke, who worked on the project with RoadPeace, UK's charity for road crash victims, will be held at Oxo Tower from 6 - 29 January; and is sponsored by Green Flag Motoring Assistance.

The exhibition contains some shocking images of crash scenes, created using crashed vehicles and actors - to show the public how terrible road crashes really are. Real scenes are quickly cleared/sanitised, leading to a lack of knowledge and appreciation of the potential risks and dangers when using the roads.

RoadPeace introduced Paul to their work, to the plight of road victims and, most importantly, to the victims themselves, who were willing to participate as they see this exhibition as an important acknowledgement of their loss and suffering and an honour to their loved ones.

There are plans for the exhibition to tour the country in 2006.

"RoadPeace is glad to have co-operated with Paul on this important undertaking, which is bound to make a huge impact on attitudes to road crashes" said Brigitte Chaudhry, President of RoadPeace.
