The ITAI 'Crash Day'

  • 8 Jun 2023
  • 09:00 - 17:00
  • Darley Moor, Derbyshire, DE6 2ET


"Crash Day" from the Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators

This June sees the return of our very successful research day where you will be able to attend - for free - and view many staged crashes. We are hoping to have a number of stands and some ''audience participation' events.

So, book early to avoid disappointment, as when capacity is reached, we will have to stop accepting bookings.

Please click << HERE >> to download the full programme of crashes. 

For a sample of what you might see, here is a compilation video from 2022: https://youtu.be/ciRL4qdOJC4
