Stepping In at RTC

Last week we shared how Billy Scobbie from Dove Holes stepped in to save a scooter rider’s life. This week we are sharing another Billy’s story.

Billy Bateman, a Driver at Datchet quarry, was driving from Langley quarry to Datchet quarry when he witnessed a road traffic collision. A concrete mixer from a local company collided with a white Audi A3 at some speed, causing serious damage to the rear of the car smashing the back windows.

Billy pulled over to help the Audi driver who was trying to get her three children out of car. The passengers were extremely upset and shaken but by stepping in, Billy was able to help them out of the vehicle safely, call the emergency services and calmly reassuring the family.

Once the police arrived, as a witness, Billy was able to explain what happened.

Billy later received a message to say thank you from the father/husband of the family involved in the crash.

Well done to Billy for remaining calm under stressful circumstances, stepping in to help the family and assisting the police.
