      Hello Jaade,

      Yes, sometimes I do get upset. If there are children or young people involved even more so.

      I went to a crash in which a car crossed into the other opposing lane and hit a car with two women in it. The first car had a 14 year old boy in it, who died. The women in the other car were taken to hospital. It was the Saturday before Easter. When I arrived, all the casualties had gone to hospital. I saw some flowers in the back of one of the cars. I placed them besdie a tree, near where the boy died. I walked away in tears.

      I don’t think there is anything wrong in being human. However, I cannot let it stop me doing my job.

      A really relevant question that is on a subject often avoided.

      Thank you.

      Mark.
