The Motorway

Extreme snow and wind hits the West Midlands and causes chaos on the M6 for patrollers on night shift and when a pick-up truck flips upside down, a car heads the wrong way down the carriageway directly towards the crash site. While gritting teams are out in force trying to protect the roads, Paul and Aries fight in poor visibility to get a man to safety after he runs out of petrol in a live lane, while a driver on his way to Scotland is forced off the motorway when his windscreen wipers leave him with reduced visibility.

In the first episode, the motorway patrollers deal with a freak accident and a family in shock when a lorry's wheel comes off on the motorway and destroys their car.

Heavy rain sees floods, blocked drains and a high-speed aquaplaning disaster on the M42

A pedestrian puts lives in danger sprinting across eight lanes of the M6 at night and then assaults a patroller attempting to stop him.

And a car must be stopped from travelling on the M66 with a king size mattress tied to the roof, which threatens to fly off, causing disaster.

When motorway patroller Tony spots a car crashing into the central reservation, he urgently goes to assist but the situation seriously escalates when he is attacked by the driver.

An accident blocks all three lanes of the M6, but neither ambulance, fire nor the patrollers can get to the crash site.

And patrollers must close the motorway after an unfortunate driver's luggage flies off the car's roof rack leaving their clothes strewn across all three lanes of the carriageway.

Bad British weather makes for a bad day on the motorway.

A freak hailstorm causes chaos for the patrollers as three cars crash off the motorway at high speed – and one is left upside down in a farmer's field.

A driver is forced to stop in heavy snow when her windscreen wiper falls off and she can't see what's in front of her.

And how proper preparation prevents disaster – when the patrollers come across a vehicle broken down in a live lane on the M6 they discover the driver's OK because he's brought tea and biscuits with him, just in case.
