Torque Tonight,
a direct result of an Officer Cadet on a previous course falling asleep at the wheel and ending up dead
If it's the incident I'm thinking about, I don't think it was about falling asleep per se, rather fatigue in general.
Sarah Moland was killed the weekend before graduation from Cranwell, in Nov 1990, aged 25, driving home. As reported to us, she pulled out to overtake a tractor into the path of an oncoming lorry.
A remarkable lady, destined for the Int branch, in her memory there is an IOT prize for the cadet who has "demonstrated qualities of outstanding fortitude and courage during the Course". Not intended to be awarded on every course, this was to be for the exception, and I hope it is still that way.
Sarah is buried in Saint Andrew's Churchyard, Cranwell - RIP
