The Blue Ridge Regional Crash Team


Jorge Valencia of The Roanoke Times reported on October 19, 2011, about a regional partnership allowing area police officers to apply new techniques and technology to traffic crash investigations.  The Blue Ridge Regional Crash Team provides the training to officers who in turn help other officers with their expertise or specialized equipment that is too costly for every department to own.  Officers from the Bedford Police Department consulted with peers from Lynchburg and Roanoke County Police Departments on two fatal crashes in Bedford this year.  The crash team also produces studies, one of which in 2009 identified careless driving as a leading cause of fatal car crashes involving young drivers between the ages of 15 and 20.  The team is currently studying crashes involving elderly drivers.
