Yorke and Mid North's alarmingly high road incident toll

You may have heard in the news, the state’s road toll is alarmingly high this year, more than double this time last year.  There were 71 deaths last year and 41 already this year.  How are these figures translating to our local Clare Valley area? The State Emergency Service  attends all road accidents in the local area and volunteers are noticing a significant increase over the last three years.
Heidi Grebe, Clare SES Unit Manager and Braden Henbest, Active Rescue Member discuss the figures, and the need for more SES volunteers in the local Clare Valley region.
