Trucking Hell

In Leicestershire a 44 tonne food lorry is on fire, blocking a slip road of the M1 and putting motorists in grave danger. Crouch incident manager, Steve Kelly and his team need to get it shifted off the road as quickly as possible, but the smouldering wreck threatens to catch alight at any moment, making this one of the most dangerous jobs the team have ever encountered. In Hertfordshire, Lantern recovery op Sean Bearnie is sent to rescue a Jeep Cherokee that’s been abandoned in a muddy field. But when he attempts to move it, disaster strikes as the team’s 4 x 4 ends up sinking fast. Meanwhile on a tiny lane in the middle of the countryside, a 30 tonne cement mixer is also in trouble. It’s come off the road and is tilting precariously with its wheels in the air. Recovery Op Lee Price has got to think on his feet, before the concrete sets causing the mixer to crash over into a ditch.
