TWO MAYO MORGUE workers are at the centre of a new road safety campaign.

Pathologist Dr Fadel Bennani and senior mortuary technician Sean Derrig are delivering a chilling message filmed in their work place, the county morgue in Mayo, telling people to slow down this Christmas.

Dr Bennani said that the two “witness very disturbing scenes at their job not something they get used to and pleas with road users to be careful and says he never wants to meet you in his duty of his work.”

Sean Derrig adds “for all road users to think safety ever time they take to the road.”

Already this year, five more people have died on the roads in Ireland.

Noel Gibbons, Mayo’s road safety officer said “road collisions effect all in the community so we all have to help to prevent them”.

“Drivers must remember that travelling during holiday periods can be more risky because of increased traffic volumes, congestion, tiredness, there are higher numbers of people driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and people may be driving in unfamiliar environments.”
