When we talk about losing a loved one in a road incident, the phrase “accident” is often used. But in some cases, the truth is far more painful — and far more unjust. Culpable road death is not an accident. It is a death caused by someone’s reckless, dangerous, or illegal actions behind the wheel. And for the families left behind, the grief is compounded by a deep sense of injustice.
At The HUB, we support families who have lost someone due to culpable road death. Whether through speeding, drink or drug driving, mobile phone use, or other forms of dangerous driving, these losses are preventable — and they are devastating.
Families affected by culpable road death often feel overlooked. The criminal justice process can be complex, slow, and emotionally draining. Sentences may feel inadequate. The language used in court and the media may feel cold or dismissive. And while offenders may eventually return to their lives, the family of the person killed faces a life forever changed.
This is why specialist support matters. At The HUB, we offer a safe space for families to speak freely, to grieve without judgment, and to receive help navigating the aftermath of such a traumatic loss. We work closely with providers like Families Fighting for Justice, who understand this pain from personal experience and offer both peer and practical support.
No family should have to face this alone. If you have lost someone to a culpable road death, please know that we are here for you. You are seen, heard, and supported — every step of the way.
