EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a dramatic scene from the past, showcasing the aftermath of a car accident on an icy road near Lewes, East Sussex. Taken on January 9th, 1932, it showcases the tireless efforts of a breakdown car as it works to rescue a vehicle that skidded off the treacherous road. The image highlights both the dangers of winter driving and the importance of recovery vehicles in such situations. The sleek design of Alfieri's pick-up crane is evident as it delicately lifts and secures the damaged car for towing. The frozen landscape surrounding them serves as a stark reminder of how quickly conditions can change and lead to accidents. The skilled operators from Caffyns Ltd demonstrate their expertise in maneuvering through challenging circumstances, carefully navigating around ditches and verges to retrieve stranded vehicles. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when road traffic accidents were not uncommon but required specialized assistance for recovery. Between The Wars has captured this historical moment with precision, allowing viewers to reflect on how far we have come in terms of road safety since then. It reminds us that even though technology has advanced significantly over time, caution must always be exercised when traveling during inclement weather conditions.
