A Stirling councillor is continuing to highlight the importance of properly fitted child car seats after he and his family escaped a horror accident.
As reported last month in the Observer, Thomas Heald, a Conservative councillor for Dunblane and Bridge of Allan, was travelling along the M9 near Dunblane, with his two young children, in the family’s Renault Kadjar SUV, driven by his wife.
The couple and their daughters - aged just three-years-old and 22-months-old - were left badly shaken after the vehicle hit a patch of standing water on the carriageway, causing the driver to lose control.
The car then flipped four times before finally settling on the verge.
Miraculously, none of the four occupants of the car were seriously injured.
Cllr Heald – who was first elected as the ward member for Dunblane and Bridge of Allan in a by-election in January later thanked the emergency services and passers by who rushed to their aid following the horror incident.

He said: “I was involved in a car accident a few weeks ago and it became apparent that without the appropriate use of child car seats that outcome could have been very different.
“Are there any awareness campaigns you are doing to ensure parents get the right seats and that they are properly installed?”
Andrew Thomson, Head of Road Policing for Forth Valley Police Division said: “We work with a charity called the Good Egg safety charity.
“They are predominantly focused on child car seat safety.”
Inspector Thomson said the charity worked with the police “not in terms of fines” but as experts in car seat fitting, adding
