Traffic Cops

Episode 18

A pursuit on the M1 near Chesterfield ends in dramatic fashion when a suspected getaway driver takes a late exit off the motorway, careering into a fuel tanker. This full-scale emergency forces Derbyshire's officers to close down a busy junction of the motorway during the morning rush hour. A rollercoaster day out at Alton Towers ends with a near-death experience for members of a group of day trippers when their car breaks down on the A50 and a lorry driver's momentary lapse in concentration sees him smash head-on into the stationary vehicle.
