Write a short summary of what happens in the radio advert

‘Behind the numbers’ is a year-long radio campaign you’d rather not hear. Because every time it airs somebody just died in traffic. In real-time. One adapted and unique radio spot for each road victim. Minutes after it happened. Every day again, unfortunately. To illustrate the scale of the problem to everybody listening to the radio, mostly while driving. By doing so, the organization ‘Parents of Road Victims’ wants to turn each lost life into a reason to drive more carefully. In real-time. Each unique spot was recorded by real parents of road victims.

When you hear this, somebody just died in a traffic accident. Number 66 since January. Number 66 in the statistics. But most of all: a real person... and always somebody’s child. Please, drive carefully. 66 are 66 too many. A message from parents of road victims. Like me.
