Jessie Lee Abelskamp.

Much like hundreds of thousands of other European children she said goodbye to her mother on that fateful Tuesday, 3 June 2003.

Jessie was cycling on her way to school, thinking about that day’s school test. At a junction in her town she had to stop and wait for moving traffic.
The driver of the lorry pulling up next to her failed to notice her, in spite of his lorry being equipped with a variety of mirrors.

For Jessie all help was in vain. The consequence? Unspeakable grief. Just one out of hundreds of similar accidents that could so easily have been prevented.
