00:01Scott straight through the red line.
00:04He's got damage, David.
00:05Don't do that!
00:06Stay still!
00:08Derbyshire traffic cops.
00:10It does have warning markers for potential firearms.
00:15Don't hold it! You under arrest.
00:16Intent supply class.
00:17It took.
00:19Police a thousand square miles.
00:23It's a crash, crash.
00:25You got any other injury other than your head?
00:27With some of the UK's most dangerous roads.
00:30Oh, no one's been killed out of this.
00:32I don't know.
00:33Do you know how fast you were going?
00:34It's scary when stuff like this happens.
00:37In life and death situations.
00:39Get on the ground, you'll be tased!
00:41We've got runners.
00:43Place down.
00:45Yes, yes, successful stink.
00:49Around every corner.
00:51It's a great acting, mate.
00:54There's a new challenge for the traffic cops.
00:57Step out of the vehicle now!
01:00I'm going home.
01:01Stay, Ned!
01:02Stop grabbing me like that!
01:06It's crash, crash, crash!
01:09Coming up...
01:10It's a bit of a mess here, mate.
01:12We're gonna need EMAS's matter of urgency, please.
01:16Bad crashes.
01:18Two children, one in this one and one in this one.
01:21Causing chaos.
01:22Bit of carnage at the minute, but we're working through it.
01:26Hello, mate, you alright?
01:28And distracted drivers.
01:30This is very precarious.
01:33Putting lives on the line.
01:35Just come away from bus just in case it moves.
01:39All the passengers against that fence, please.
01:41It's at fence, please.
01:50Oscar Tango 23, brief on RTC, M1 Northbound.
01:53Each year, Derbyshire emergency services are called to hundreds of crashes.
02:03Oscar Tango 22, we've got a report of a two-vehicle RTC.
02:07Injuries are reported. EMAS are travelling.
02:09If you need your response, an A.
02:10Most are caused by driver error.
02:15RTC near to Burton appears to be an eight-car pilot.
02:19Being a traffic cop, you are gonna see bad things.
02:24You are going to see destruction and, in the worst sense, death.
02:31And I've seen some pretty horrendous scenes.
02:34Traffic units now come out the way, please, for reports of an RTC.
02:39Hero 1, I'm finding units.
02:41One vehicle's overturned, person trapped.
02:44Vehicle details at this time are unknown.
02:46One golf's going, and I'll put all the Zulu units on it.
02:49Received ops unit attending, can you shout out to your call sign?
02:54Fox 2, a 5-3.
02:56Tango 2, 5.
02:58Tango 2, 5.
03:00Tango 2, 5.
03:02Tango 2, 5.
03:04Traffic cop PC Nick Rice is en route to a serious crash
03:08on one of Derby's busiest roads.
03:11Day in, day out, we deal with collisions.
03:14What we do is traffic cops, whether they are serious or minor,
03:19we deal with them.
03:21Sometimes, things can get reported to us
03:23and they're not quite as bad as they sound.
03:26Sometimes, things are worse.
03:29He's gonna need fire as well.
03:31The vehicle's on his side.
03:32It's a pretty dodgy position.
03:34It's not against the driver at all.
03:36You find out what you're dealing with when you arrive on two.
03:38You're right on two.
03:39You're right on two.
03:4225, mistake 6.
03:46Yeah, 24.
03:472-5, I'm a state six.
03:58Yeah, 24.
04:04We've got two in here, Nick.
04:10There's two children.
04:15We've got two people trapped.
04:20One vehicle is partly on its side, it's on top of another vehicle.
04:23We've got one casualty in the van.
04:26Yes, yes, driver of that one trapped.
04:28Standby.
04:29The third one is one female in that.
04:33She's not trapped, but she is still in the vehicle.
04:36And hey, Tango 2-5.
04:38It's a bit of a mess here, mate.
04:40We're going to need two more traffic units if possible.
04:43There are local units here.
04:45What is it? My truck don't keep warm.
04:47Where is your car?
04:48Where is your car?
04:50Don't worry about your car.
04:54Are you going to be able to get over there?
04:58Don't worry about the car.
05:00You're out.
05:01That's the main thing, isn't it?
05:02All right?
05:04There's two children in these two cars that we need to check.
05:07One in this one and one in this one.
05:09Yeah, they've been in this car.
05:12Some passers-by have rescued two children from the pickup truck.
05:16We came around the corner and we noticed that the barrier was dented.
05:21And we saw that a car had gone over, so we stopped to see if we could help.
05:25There were two adults in the front and two kiddies in the back.
05:29Obviously, the kids were very, very scared, so we got the kids out of the car
05:32and then put them in a safe, warm and dry space and then went back in to see if their grown-ups were okay.
05:41The ultimate priority is life and limb before any investigation.
05:50With not being first on scene, people are already being tended to.
05:53So the next priority comes to safety.
05:56Is everything as safe as it can be at that time?
05:59And then speaking to people to try and figure out what's happened and how it's happened.
06:04How are you? It's been better.
06:06Yeah. They should be all right there, mate.
06:09You're in this one, aren't you?
06:11What's happened, mate?
06:13He's just come flying up here.
06:15He's come over the barrier?
06:16Yeah.
06:17Yeah, I'm coming to see you.
06:19I can see now, yeah.
06:24Usually, when people are involved in collisions,
06:27it's an incident which they're not used to.
06:30The body's natural reaction to an incident is to pump it full of adrenaline.
06:34And that's got to come down at some point.
06:37And that release can affect people in different ways.
06:42People are upset.
06:45It comes out in emotions or tears or anger or whatever it is.
06:50Do we know where she is?
06:53Ah, she's here.
06:54Nick also talks to the driver of a Ford Fiesta caught up in the collision.
06:59Hello.
07:00You've got better mornings, haven't you?
07:03How are you?
07:04A bit shaken.
07:05Yeah?
07:06Are you injured at all?
07:07No?
07:08Are you able to tell me briefly what's happened?
07:11What do you remember?
07:12I was just driving up here and the car just flew over.
07:15Literally, it flew over.
07:17I didn't see it lose control, so I didn't have any warning.
07:20And literally, I saw it take off and I didn't lose.
07:23Okay.
07:24Have you got any dash cam or anything?
07:26No.
07:27Okay, no worries.
07:28Can I get a few details?
07:29Cool.
07:31The Nissan Navara appears to have been travelling from roundabout direction.
07:36It's come round up the bend into Derby and appears to have lost it on the bend.
07:41Then gone towards the central reservation.
07:43Gone over the central res and into oncoming traffic.
07:47So it's a crossover in theory.
07:50Bit of a crazy one, to be honest.
07:53Something I've never seen.
07:54He's hit this one on its roof and he's basically landed as is on top of that van.
07:59Quite a serious collision.
08:01We've got HeliMed on route and we've also got casualties down there.
08:05So it's a bit of carnage at the minute, but we're working through it.
08:08It's a very stressful situation to be in.
08:25There's a lot happening, a lot going off.
08:27All emergency services are on scene and everybody's doing their roles.
08:34Medical teams are looking after the patients.
08:37Fire crews are making vehicles safe.
08:39Obviously we're doing our part, but it is a hectic situation to be in.
08:45And yeah, it's not a nice thing to be dealing with when there's children involved.
08:51N8, Tango 25.
08:53Our HAARP team has just gone stage 6 and HeliMed as well.
08:57That is confirmed.
08:58Traffic cop Sergeant Adam Shipley arrives on the scene.
09:02That's the female passenger out of this one.
09:06There's two in that one.
09:07There were children in that one as well.
09:09I've got no details from them at the minute, obviously.
09:11They're cutting driver out now.
09:12I think they're a bit concerned about driver.
09:14And female from this one.
09:17She just a bit shook up, no injuries.
09:19The one behind, the guy sat on the edge there with the head wound.
09:22He's out of that.
09:23I've got all his details.
09:25I think he's just waiting to be seen by somebody, but obviously the priority at the minute is these.
09:31You realise he was crossed over?
09:33Well, I didn't until I started talking to people.
09:35I didn't see all this.
09:41Driver is out.
09:43He's on his way to QMC now.
09:45They have strapped him to a spinal board.
09:50The driver of the van crushed by the pick-up has escaped without serious injury.
09:55I'll tell you what.
10:00He is incredibly lucky.
10:06You should look at the mechanics of it all.
10:09You don't expect when you're just driving along another vehicle to just shoot across a carriageway and land on your bonnet, do you?
10:16I mean, it's credit to how well vehicles are built nowadays.
10:20If something that heavy, coming at speed, lands on your bonnet and you manage to walk out, it's remarkable really.
10:31All patients are off to hospital.
10:33We've got officers going to hospital to do procedures with them and speak to them about what's happened.
10:38With regards to the scene now and what we do, we've got a collision investigation unit.
10:42They're going to take all photographs and map the area and provide a sketch and an overview of what's happened and how it's led to this.
10:48We don't wholly know what the outcome of the injuries are going to be.
10:52So if it is going to be life-changing, we'll need all that information if we're looking at a prosecution going forward.
11:02Crash investigator Mick Street is hoping that some of the information has been recorded within the Navara itself.
11:09There's potential we can download data from the car, from the airbag module, which will give us five seconds of data from before the airbags have deployed.
11:19So that will potentially give us speed, position, steering inputs and things like that, whether the seatbelt's been worn.
11:26It's obviously lost it some way up there and potentially been upside down when it's hit the red Fiesta and then rolled back again onto the top of the van.
11:35It's likely to be speed. That's not to say that a defect with the vehicle could cause that, but from experience it's more than likely speed that's caused it.
11:45Quite a few of the parts have got what the bar has been put on, haven't they?
11:51It's no keeper. Yeah, I'm wondering if it's a clone, to be honest.
11:57Examining the truck, Adam and the crash investigators spot something irregular.
12:03On the front of the vehicle, you can see basically somebody's written in yellow pen, Navara.
12:10So those parts have obviously been replaced with a scrap yard or a breakers yard, as is the inner of the rear larch.
12:17All in all, it looks like it's had a front-end impact before, and that's had certain parts replaced.
12:24So it's going to need a bit more investigation to make sure it is a genuine vehicle, they're not stolen.
12:29They've not basically gone to a chop shop and, you know, put various parts of stolen ones and damaged ones together to make another vehicle.
12:38According to DVLA records, it's in trade, there's no registered owner for it.
12:42With that, and the fact it's got this written on them, it needs a little more investigation.
12:48The vehicle will be forensically examined, and with the driver suffering potentially life-changing injuries, there will also be a formal investigation.
12:59It's the early days, but he's obviously got some questions to answer for that carnage to have happened, so we just need to get to the bottom of what it is and how it's happened.
13:11Sometimes you're not always going to get the answers that you want. I personally don't feel that the whole truth will ever come out in this one.
13:26You see how closely it's on that back?
13:39Coming up, professional drivers making mistakes at work.
13:44This lorry is right on the edge. It's twitchy-boom time, this one.
13:49All the passengers off the bus.
13:51Putting their lives...
13:53It's not athletic, nothing like that.
13:55And others at risk.
13:56N.A. Oscar Tango 23.
13:58Ambulance.
13:59It's running to a police car.
14:16We've got any traffic units now come out of the way, please, to reports of an RTC on a bridge.
14:21N.A. Kirillet, there's no more updates or information.
14:24Traffic cop PC Rich Morris is being dispatched to a crash on a busy rural road near the Staffordshire border.
14:33Half one on a Tuesday morning and we just had a report of a lorry which has gone through a bridge over the River Dove.
14:45It's hanging over the edge.
14:46It's hanging over the edge.
14:47Drivers trapped.
14:48So...
14:49We're gonna go and see what's happening.
14:52I find it bizarre.
14:54It's a straight bit of road there.
14:56So...
14:57I don't really know what's going on.
14:59We're gonna go and see what's going on here.
15:04Ooh, there's no more traffic.
15:05Oh...
15:06Oh...
15:07Wow...
15:08Hello mate, you alright?
15:25NA Tango 10? Yeah this lorry, front wheels are hanging over into the river, driver is still in
15:32the cab. He's alright, we're talking to him now, but can we get an ETA for fire service please?
15:40This is, it's very precarious. You have to question how the hell that's happened. The driver can't get
15:52out of his cab because he's over the water. The trailer is keeping it from going into the river.
15:59If that cab had gone a little bit further, it would have gone down into the river and the trailer
16:06would have followed it and it would have crushed that cab under the water. That driver, he'd have
16:11drowned in his cab. There's no doubt about that. I've never quite seen one like that before.
16:17Well, you've done it in style, haven't you? Yeah, I've got fire service coming out,
16:26they've got some right kit. I've got nothing. I've got some cones in me boot, that's about it,
16:32but I don't think they're going to help us at the moment, are they? NA Tango 10? Just sort of preempting
16:39it. We are going to need heavy recovery. I'm just going to find out if he's loaded or not. I think
16:45he probably will be because I can hear his chillers running. What weight you got?
16:49I don't see where the weight is. It's not heavy, it's only salads.
16:52It's just salad? Just salad.
16:55Yeah, obviously it's a heavy, it's got a full-size trailer on. It's full of salad stuff,
17:02so it's not going to be running at 44, but it's still obviously going to have significant weight.
17:06Where the river is, the trailer is right on the edge of the banking, so fire service are going to
17:14need to initially secure it, and then we've got to try and get it dragged out as well.
17:21It's pretty dangerous to be honest. If you look right down there, you've got the river dove,
17:25this lorry is right on the edge. I don't know how it's not gone over to be honest.
17:31The river's quite deep there as well, quite fast flowing, so it'll be a difficult extraction, this one.
17:40Several fire crews arrived to rescue the driver from his cab.
17:44Yeah, two, four, fire state six. I've got fire service here now, mate. What they'll do,
17:52they'll get this secure so it can't go off, and then they'll get you out, all right? What's your name?
17:57Right. Hang on, mate. I'm in a bit of a tricky position at the moment.
18:04Just handful. Nobody else in the cab?
18:08Can you just make sure he stays there?
18:09Yeah, he's not going anywhere. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:14Down to fire service, do their magic now.
18:25You don't see many like this, do you? You see how close he is on that bank?
18:31I think if it were a full 44-tonne, I reckon that banking would have gone and it would have pushed him over.
18:39Driver's got his head in his hands, I'm not surprised. Yeah, I wouldn't fancy being in his position.
18:45Fire service, you've got to secure it first, get him out. Then we've got to work out how we're going to extract this vehicle from here.
18:52Traffic cop PC Paul Barker joins Rich.
18:57You're going to have to inform the highways to get a structural engineer out for the bridge as well.
19:01The fire rent agency might need to be told because his fuel tank is right on the edge
19:09and it might rupture when it's pulled off.
19:11The fire crew secures the truck to prevent it slipping into the river.
19:20Where the back window would be, they're going to open all that back up.
19:23Like, if you like a tin opener, they're going to cut that back open
19:26and extract the driver through that.
19:34It's definitely an interesting one. Logistically, it's difficult and yeah, it's twitchy bum time, this one.
19:41You've got plenty of paramedics and ambulance staff, if something does go wrong.
19:55It's important when we've got a major incident like this, that everybody knows their role.
20:01OK, you're all right?
20:02Yeah, bye.
20:03OK.
20:11Can you hold the driver there now while we sort out his line?
20:34Can you come over here? Can you support him on the other side?
20:42Yeah.
20:43Um, duck down under there for us.
20:46Nice one.
20:47Can you support him there?
20:48Yeah.
20:50It's an all deal, wasn't it?
20:56Paul needs to establish how the lorry came off the road.
21:01Tell me what happened.
21:02Hair coming.
21:03Mm-hmm.
21:03The other way, there mayn't be any mum.
21:05Probably dazzled.
21:07Before I knew it, the Ben were there and I'm gone.
21:09All right.
21:11I was just coming down the road, dazzled, lost sight before I knew it, the bridge got me and that were it.
21:16A couple of expletives out of my mouth and then I was straight into the wall
21:20and when it went to over the edge, I thought, that's it.
21:23Well, thankfully, I'm here.
21:25Just when you see nothing and then you're hanging over the edge, you know there's a drop, there's got to be.
21:31Well, looking at it now, I feel as hard to just have won the lottery.
21:36That's that.
21:37That were nearly curtains.
21:38I'm going to sit on here for a bit of warm.
21:42Yeah, go and get checked out with them, mate.
21:44We've got a couple of things we need to do with you as well, but the main thing is make sure that you're safe and well before we get on.
21:51All your stuff's just there, pal.
21:53All right.
21:53Was it?
21:54Did I hear?
21:54Yeah.
21:55What we'll do, mate, obviously, a lot's taken and a lot's happened.
21:59We'll just do just a quick set of checks for you, mate.
22:01Okay.
22:02Just take hold of that G for us.
22:04It's blown zero.
22:05The only thing about the setting I stand reported for the quest is to be considered
22:08plus Q2 for careless driving.
22:10You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence.
22:12If you don't mention that, some two weeks later in the court, anything you do say, may we do nervous.
22:16Have you got any questions?
22:19I just feel lucky to be all right.
22:20Yeah.
22:24He's gone too fast around the bend, basically, and he's lost it.
22:27It has shook him up, but hopefully he'll learn from it.
22:31He's been reported for careless driving because nobody else has gone over the edge tonight,
22:35so there's not any reason why he shouldn't have negotiated that bend.
22:40The majority of crashes aren't caused by deliberate dangerous driving.
22:44There's always a reason for a collision.
22:47Very rarely is it a mechanical defect.
22:50It's normally somebody not paying attention, their mind's on the holiday they've got booked.
22:55They're thinking about that, and they're not thinking about what they should be doing,
22:59and through just a lapse in concentration, they've ended up in a collision that could change their life.
23:04Yeah, excellent. Thank you.
23:05Thank you so much.
23:07Cheers.
23:08Cheers.
23:08Cheers.
23:09Cheers.
23:10If you feel like your attention is going, I think you need to be taking a break,
23:13going to a lay-by services, have a little nap or whatever, but you definitely shouldn't be driving
23:19if your concentration is wandering. You need to be switched on all the time. It's just not worth it.
23:24The road will remain closed until the lorries retrieve from the bridge.
23:31We'll get the bridge safe so that it can be used, get the road open again, because this is a busy road,
23:37so it needs to be open again, and it takes as long as it takes.
23:41Coming up.
23:45Pivoting on the front end.
23:47A bus driver losing control.
23:49Definitely looks like driver error on this one.
23:53An ambulance crash.
23:54I think the humbrake's gone on it.
23:59And a high-speed collision.
24:01It's been rear-ended by this one here who's failed to see it.
24:03We've had a report of an RTC. Ambulance are travelling.
24:22Have we got an Oster Tango unit, please? State 2.
24:25Chesterfield, acknowledge.
24:28So we've got a report of an RTC.
24:29A bus has left the road and gone into a field with 20 passengers on.
24:35Traffic cop PC Craig Dawes has been dispatched to the Chesterfield area to manage the scene.
24:41If you've got a bus in the field, we don't know what state people's in, any injuries.
24:46Who's on the bus? Women, children, elderly, we're just not sure yet.
24:53Crashes with buses are quite rare.
24:55We get little scuffs or clip wing mirrors that get reported,
24:59but to actually go to a proper collision involving a bus is very, very rare.
25:04Two, three, I'm just trying to locate it.
25:08People are going to get thrown around,
25:10so the last thing you want to be doing is going to a crash involving a bus.
25:15Two, three, state six with this bus now.
25:22Just down there.
25:22There's just one in here.
25:28Yep.
25:31Local police have arrived ahead of Craig.
25:33Is she diabetic or anything like that?
25:36No.
25:37It's not epileptic, nothing like that.
25:41LA from two, three. We've got one injured so far.
25:44All the passengers are off.
25:46We will need fire just to secure it.
25:50Just come away from bus for us, just in case anything happens or it moves.
25:56Apparently everything's cut off, is it, bus?
25:58Fuel and everything's gone.
26:00All the passengers of the bus.
26:02Can I get all the passengers against that fence so we know who's on it, please?
26:07Yeah, we call fire.
26:10Single-decker.
26:11Everything's been cut off, so there's nothing leaking.
26:16And it's actually gone through an edge, but it's pivoted on the front end with its back end.
26:21It does look stable, but I want it double-checked.
26:24My first thoughts is when I arrive is, you know, obviously buses don't have seat belts,
26:29so I'm going to have quite a few injured people here.
26:32But you've got minor bruising, cuts, abrasions and things like that.
26:35But when you look at the bigger picture, I was lucky that nobody was seriously injured.
26:42The female we've got on the floor, we believe, is more panic and shock rather than any injury.
26:48You've got elderly people, you've got children.
26:51It must have been absolutely terrifying.
26:53Can I just get you just to go back to the fence for us?
26:56I just don't want anything rolling or moving or dropping on.
26:59Yeah, yeah, nice one.
27:00What we need to do after is to go around each individual passenger.
27:04It's going to tell you the details on the body cam.
27:06Yeah.
27:06Don't go writing them down at this point, because it'll just take too long.
27:09Addressing phone number.
27:09Yeah, we've got loads of all cops on here.
27:12Right, no problem.
27:14And Nathan 23, as there's no serious injuries at this point,
27:18can we get heavy recovery rolling, please, for this bus?
27:24And it is going to need a mechanical exam as well.
27:30Are you doing all right?
27:34What we're doing now, we've got fire.
27:35They're going to secure the bus and make sure that's all right.
27:39We're making sure that the road's secure.
27:42And it's just really making sure that nobody walks around,
27:45making sure that the driver's OK, getting his account and so on.
27:51At the moment, we've got one female that appears to be in shock.
27:55A few walking wounded, but nothing pressing.
27:58As Craig briefs paramedics.
28:02Oh, no.
28:05There's another collision.
28:07And they have to get Tango 23.
28:10Ambulance has possibly not left their handbrake on,
28:13and it's running to a police car.
28:15Is it on?
28:17Put it into park.
28:19The police car was unattended, and so was the ambulance, unfortunately.
28:23Do you want to reverse it back?
28:25It's rolling.
28:27Is it still rolling, is it?
28:29Yeah.
28:29Is it automatic?
28:30Yeah.
28:31So it should be in park?
28:32Yeah.
28:33It's been right near the top ratchet.
28:35Once you've reversed it back, keep your foot on brake.
28:37Fire are going to put them blocks under.
28:39Then we can test the handbrake as well.
28:42I said it's on the top.
28:44It's like it's still rolling.
28:44Look at that.
28:45I feel it.
28:48Yeah, it is.
28:49Right up.
28:50It weren't in park.
28:52Put it in and it's still rolled.
28:53Like, that's rolling now, look, because it's in.
28:56That's with the handbrake on.
28:56So the handbrake's knackered, but once it's in park,
28:59park is holding it.
29:01The handbrake's no good on it.
29:03I'll give you that.
29:03It's right up and it clicks.
29:09LA from two, three.
29:10The handbrake in the ambulance is defect.
29:14It's all the way up and it goes past.
29:16When the vehicle is in park, it does hold it.
29:18So I think they've got out quickly, left it in neutral,
29:20put the handbrake on, and obviously it's rolled.
29:24It's turned up.
29:25Doesn't look like they put it in park, which, you know,
29:28you jump it out, you put the handbrake on in a vehicle.
29:31You know, her first priority and thoughts are the patient.
29:36You know, she's come here to treat somebody.
29:38Luckily, it's travelled a short distance
29:41and ran into the police car.
29:43You know, the last thing we wanted is doing is
29:45travelling a great distance, hitting a member of public,
29:48or, you know, going into the bus and tipping the bus over,
29:50because pretty much where it was aiming,
29:53that would have been what would have happened.
29:56You've just got to have your wits about you all the time
29:58when you're at a scene.
29:59You know, it's not just what you're dealing with,
30:02it's things that's gone off around you.
30:04You know, you've got to constantly be aware of what could happen.
30:10Wouldn't knock you off for dangerous driving.
30:13I'm joking.
30:14Do you know what? Honestly, what way to start with?
30:17Right, we can get back to the original one now.
30:21The woman said it's going down the road,
30:23and it's like felt a bump, so I'm just going to have a look.
30:26Just checking the road, see if there's any potholes or anything.
30:33Don't look to be anything.
30:36The passenger felt it like a bump, lift up in the air and go,
30:39but I'm thinking that's where it's hit the curb and done that.
30:47The fire service is working to make the bus and surrounding area safe.
30:53Stabilisation-wise, there's not much we can do for it to be honest.
30:56It is where it is and brakes on. We'll get rid of fuel.
31:00And if we can, there's an emergency to cut off in the cab.
31:02Yeah, no problem.
31:04What we'll do is just try and keep everybody away,
31:06and then wait for the bus to come.
31:08Everyone's out of the field now.
31:09It's just a bit of a bit now, really.
31:12Brilliant.
31:12So what I'm going to do is, and everybody that's been seen, spoken to,
31:16and all details gone, once they've gone, they can go.
31:18Just get them on the log, and then we'll keep the driver.
31:21The driver's blown zero.
31:23I do believe that there will be footage, dash cam and stuff on the bus.
31:27Yeah.
31:27That's my next thing.
31:28Thanks a lot for that.
31:33Hey, you've got dash cam footage on your buses.
31:35Yeah, yeah, they're all open to the air.
31:36It's all that, so we'll keep that.
31:38So what's happening?
31:40So it's a bit of a dodgy corner.
31:42Yeah.
31:43And I came down here.
31:45Yeah.
31:46And hotels everywhere.
31:49I just came round here.
31:50I must have took it a bit too early coming round
31:52the bend way too early.
31:54And it's just hit the curb, and that's...
31:57OK.
31:57So you've just poor manoeuvrability then, really?
32:00Is that what you're saying on it?
32:02OK, no problem.
32:05This one's quite unique, the crash,
32:07because it's on a pretty straight bit of road.
32:10You know, nobody's run out.
32:11They're not to swerve.
32:12They're not travelling at a high speed.
32:14So it's very, very strange at first.
32:19Craig and his colleagues hope dash cam footage
32:22will shed light on what went wrong.
32:26It'll turn right in a minute.
32:28It'll turn right in a minute.
32:31It's going to burn it.
32:38It's off, aren't you?
32:40He's not having any clock yet or something.
32:42He's making all this, like...
32:43Leading up to it, he just seemed to be rocking a bit,
32:45wasn't he?
32:46He's acting through.
32:47I thought you were checking it very soon.
32:49Yeah, I thought you were looking all the time around.
32:51I thought you were just checking it very soon.
32:52I've been quite observing.
32:53Yeah, I did, yeah.
32:54Yeah, but he's looking around again.
32:58Looking around again.
33:02He's looked proper left when he does it.
33:08It's very big, aren't they?
33:11It's weird, isn't it?
33:20That could have been a lot worse.
33:24They've done...
33:24The passengers have done really well, to be fair, haven't they?
33:26That was a double-decker.
33:30Very, very strange.
33:31Straight away, it definitely looks like it's driver error on this one.
33:35I'm just going to report you now, driving a motor vehicle, without due care attention.
33:40Yeah.
33:41So you don't have to say anything, but it may help me defense.
33:43You're not mentioned now, something to say, trying to call.
33:45If they do say, may abuse and evidence.
33:46Yeah.
33:46Due care is the best form of prosecution we deal with.
33:51Because you have dangerous thing, you have due care.
33:52It fell below a competent driver's.
33:54Yes.
33:55You've made the mistake when you got into there.
33:57So don't worry about it.
33:58Yeah.
33:58You'll get a letter through the post.
34:01Yeah.
34:02And we'll do that all right.
34:04The driver potentially faces a fine of up to £5,000, nine points on his license or a total ban.
34:14Nobody sets out to cause a collision.
34:16You know, it's normally circumstances have unfolded and that's what's caused it.
34:21You know, it could be just a lack of concentration.
34:25We've also got a duty of care to the driver as well.
34:28We've got to show that bit of empathy.
34:30Just traveling that road every day and he's been involved in a serious crash.
34:34You know, and as far as he's concerned, his world's just ended.
34:38We've got two walking wounded that's going to go to Chesfield for a checkup.
34:44I think it's more bruising and shock.
34:46We're going to get it forensically recovered just to make sure that there's no defect issues
34:50or any negation of that.
34:52There's been some very, very, very lucky passengers on there.
34:55And, you know, it's thankfully nobody's seriously injured.
35:00There's nothing loose.
35:01That's okay to use tonight.
35:02Cracking.
35:03And obviously we've got the ambulance versus police car crash to sort out,
35:08which I think the driver of the ambulance is embarrassed.
35:12But, you know, these things happen.
35:15You know, it just shows you couldn't write what we do.
35:18You know, you're at a bus crash and then you have an ambulance roll into a police car.
35:23There's never a door moment being a traffic officer and that's why I enjoy the job.
35:27It's just what it is.
35:31They're like us, aren't they?
35:32They're driving all the time.
35:34You know, he's not intentionally driven recklessly.
35:37He just made that one misjudgment and put it through the edge.
35:42Coming up...
35:45We've come across this RTC.
35:48A momentary lapse of concentration...
35:51There's nothing left at the back.
35:53...causes a major collision.
35:55Possibly looking at a fatal.
35:56The call originally did come from ambulance.
36:16Injuries at this time are unknown.
36:21Two, three lighting clear.
36:22Craig Dawes is travelling to a crash on a dual carriageway running through West Derby.
36:28We're on route to a reported broken down vehicle in the A38 northbound.
36:35But since we've had the call for the broken down, it appears that a vehicle's now collided with the back of it.
36:41Possibly, you know, debris all over the place.
36:44So we need to obviously get there as quick as possible and make sure that we can safeguard everybody there.
36:51It's on an unlit stretch of the A38, so if there's no hard shoulders or anything, it's going to drop into a live lane.
36:59Let's see.
37:15How are you doing? You alright?
37:16Yes.
37:18We've come across this RTC white vehicle...
37:22Broken down.
37:23It's broken down.
37:24Others have got it back.
37:25Who's the driver of the one that's been hit?
37:27It's the BMW.
37:28You're the BMW driver.
37:29Okay, no problem.
37:30You got your driving license on here?
37:33It's alright, don't worry.
37:34You've not done anything wrong.
37:35You're the white one.
37:36Sorry, who's the driver of this black one here?
37:37It's a chair.
37:38He's in the back of the ambulance.
37:39Is he brilliant?
37:40Let me just get recovery rolling.
37:42And hey, can I have recovery for two vehicles, please?
37:46I can't see.
37:46There's nothing left at the back end of this one.
37:48Back with me.
37:50That's going to want a full lift as well, please.
37:52That's just stuck on the barrier.
37:53And let highways know there's barrier damage as well.
38:01It's three times more dangerous to break down in a live lane than on an emergency hard shoulder.
38:07So, basically, what's happened is the white vehicle's been broken down.
38:13Thankfully, they've had the sense to get out.
38:17And then it's been rear-ended by this one here who's failed to see it.
38:20But if you look at the back of the white one, it's said there's nothing left at the back.
38:24You know, if that had been somebody in the back of that, we would have possibly been looking at a fatal.
38:31Is the driver okay of this one?
38:32I'm feeling a bit of pain in this chest.
38:35Right.
38:36I think you can wear the airbag.
38:37Yeah, yeah.
38:38But the fact that he's hit that car at 65cm per hour, I'm going to take him up to RDA.
38:43Yeah, I'll just get some details from him.
38:49Can I come in here?
38:51Oh, dog's in here and all.
38:53I can't leave it outside.
38:54Is dog all right?
38:55Are you all right, eh?
38:57Oh, I bet that made you frightened, didn't it?
39:01Eh?
39:03Okay mate, what's happened?
39:05Oh, coming back home.
39:09I think I overtook something and then pulled back in.
39:13I didn't see it worse taking the car.
39:15Luckily the girl weren't inside.
39:17No, well, she's, you know, she's had the common sense to get out, which is great.
39:23Now, are you?
39:23You all right?
39:24Obviously, I could be a little bit short.
39:27Yeah, it could have been a lot worse, couldn't it, at that speed?
39:30I think I know in 65.
39:31Yeah, well, eh?
39:33Do you need to go and get checked up as well?
39:37I think she worked strapped, in fact.
39:39Oh, I see.
39:39Hey, do you know what?
39:40It's one good thing then, that you take it serious as well,
39:43because obviously, if you hadn't have been strapped in, she could have been there.
39:45Yeah, she would have tried, yeah.
39:49Over a third of all UK collisions are caused when drivers don't see other vehicles when changing lanes.
39:55Nobody sets out to cause a collision.
39:58Years ago, it used to be called road traffic accidents, but we now call them collisions,
40:02because through time, it's been established that it's somebody's mistake that causes them.
40:08If you pay attention and drive to how you should do, then most collisions are avoidable.
40:14Have you got somebody coming to collect you, you say?
40:16They're literally about to.
40:18You need a statement.
40:20My car was the one that was parked on.
40:22Listen, it's obviously, it's his fault, but it's one of them unfortunate things where
40:29he's pulled back in, he's not expecting a parked car, travelling at 60, it's unlit, you know, and he's...
40:34No, my hazards were right.
40:36No, no, no, the road's unlit, the road's unlit.
40:40You're totally faultless, you know, at least you've done the right thing by getting out of the car
40:45and not sitting in it, because obviously it could have been a different story.
40:51I bet it made a bang when it hit it, didn't it?
40:53Yeah, it was, my car was here.
40:55Yeah, all we have to say is thankfully nobody's injured, that's all we say.
40:59Are you okay?
41:00Yeah, it's fine, obviously, it's got a little bit shook up where the airbags have been activated.
41:04Dog's fine, metal can be replaced, obviously, if humans can't.
41:11As you can see, it's got massive front impact damage.
41:15Airbags have been deployed, but do you know what?
41:18People going about securing the children in the car,
41:21but nobody really thinks about securing the pets.
41:23Fortunately, the gentleman of this vehicle, you know, he's got a proper harness and lead for the dog,
41:30whereas if he hadn't have done, probably gone through the gap.
41:33Straight to the windscreen at 60 mile an hour.
41:38It's strange, you know, you don't realise it's happened until it's over,
41:44you know, accidents happen, so we say, well, you know, I think they're going to happen to you, do you?
41:53We're going to have to put a foreclosure on now in the A38.
41:57While we get these vehicles recovered, it's going to put a bit of disruption, but,
42:01you know, when it starts like this, we need a safe working environment,
42:05so the only way to do that is to put a foreclosure on.
42:09Both cars are completely totaled, which you expect when they're in a 70 mile an hour impact.
42:15Just the hazards of driving, always pay attention.
42:23Every time a driver enters a car, starts that engine and sets off on their journey.
42:28They're responsible for their actions, and if they drive without paying attention,
42:32then unfortunately you do take the consequences, and sometimes, you know, that is prison.
42:37In an ideal world, we'd all like to say people concentrate and nothing would happen, but in reality,
42:44people make mistakes. Unfortunately, one silly mistake can change your life forever.
42:49The driver of the Navara truck remains in hospital in a critical condition.
43:11The female passenger is recuperating out of hospital, and the two children have made full recoveries.
43:16The Nissan Navara appears to have lost it on the bend, gone over the central res,
43:21and into oncoming traffic.
43:24No further action was taken by police in relation to the accident.
43:38Twitty bum time, this one.
43:41The truck driver, who jackknifed on a bridge,
43:44was summoned to court for careless driving and completed a driver awareness course.
43:52No further action was taken against him.
43:56All the passengers come away from bus just in case moves.
44:00In the case of the crashed bus, the driver was prosecuted for driving without due care and attention.
44:07Definitely looks like driver error on this one.
44:10And received a £500 fine and five points on his license.
44:15No further action was taken with regards to the ambulance.
44:18He's been rear-ended by this one here. He's failed to see it.
44:26I overtook some wind and then the wind pulled back in. I didn't see it was taking a car.
44:32And no action was taken against the driver, who crashed into a broken-down car in a live lane.
44:38Except there's nothing left of the back.
44:40You know, if that had been somebody in the back of that, we would have possibly been looking at a faithful.
44:45To be continued...
45:04The best shop Mr nothing.
45:05No,
45:06I lose it.
45:07The best shop was taken out of my life.
45:08I would like to be째cio
