Saturday morning and a small crowd is gathered in Crystal Palace Park - a TV reporter, a group of traffic officers with their motorbikes standing in a perfect row and a handful of volunteers wearing identical T-shirts. They form an honour guard for the man who is now detective chief superintendent (DCS), head of crime, at Lincolnshire Police, Andrew Cox. He is about to set off on a 200km charity run. Over nine days, DCS Cox would run from the location where the first pedestrian was killed by a motor car - Bridget Driscoll in 1896 in Crystal Palace - all the way to the RoadPeace Wood at the National Memorial Arboretum, in Staffordshire. Highways is in attendance because when DCS Cox was a superintendent at the Met, he led a stunning road safety operation on the A10, which won the Road Safety Scheme of the Year Award in the 2020 Highways Awards. |
