Does the HSE have the correct view on Work Related Road Death ... quote : 'work related road traffic accidents are not a priority'

Our daughter was a student and worked part time at a social care company in order to pay her way through university. On the day of her death she took a 12 year old girl in care shopping in a car provided by the care employer ... the car skidded, hit a tree and burst into flames ... both occupants burnt to death. The car was subsequently found to have defective tyres, which was known about by the employers for weeks prior to the accident. Whilst the police prosecuted the company for defective tyres the fine was minimal in the context of the loss of two lives ... the Heath and Safety Executive will not involve themselves as the incident took place on the public road.
