Traffic officers deal with one of the worst accidents in motorway history, on an already busy bank holiday weekend! Subscribe to Our Stories: https://bit.ly/3lzSXhv
Documentary series which goes behind the scenes and on the roads with the characters who work on the M25, one of the most famous and busiest motorways in Britain. It's a Bank Holiday weekend, and with a heatwave on its way, there are record numbers of vehicles expected on the roads. As the big getaway begins, traffic officers Howard and Tim are called to a big pileup in heavy traffic. A truck has hit a pedestrian bridge at Junction 4 of the M20, forcing it to collapse onto the carriageway. As a result, the M20 has to be closed, adding hours onto holidaymakers' travel times. It's a race against time for Highways England to get the road reopened before over a million holidaymakers start their return journeys; for the maintenance teams, this means working through the night to get the bridge off the carriageway.
