The mother of teenager Caitlin Huddleston, who was killed in a car crash in Cumbria in 2017, is joining forces with the emergency services to try and educate teenagers about the dangers on our roads.

The event sees police, paramedics, fire officers, and bereaved family members take to the stage to talk about real life tragic experiences of fatal road crashes.

'Safe Drive Stay Alive' has been launched for the first time in Cumbria, following its success in Lancashire and Greater Manchester.

Hundreds of school children will hear hard-hitting messages in the hope of educating them before they learn to drive.

WATCH: PCC Peter McCall talks us through what the event's all about:

It comes as Caitlin's Campaign continues to call for the Government to introduce a Graduated Driving License, which would give young people more experience behund the wheel once they've passed their test.
