00:00Scots straight through the red line.
00:03He's got damage, David.
00:05No, Guna! Stay still!
00:07Derbyshire traffic cops.
00:09It does have warning markers for potential firearms.
00:14Turn over!
00:15You under arrest.
00:16Intent supply class.
00:17It's a drug.
00:18Police a thousand square miles.
00:22It's a crash, crash.
00:24You've got any other injury other than your head?
00:26With 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.
00:36In life and death situations...
00:39Get on the ground, you'll be tased!
00:41We've got runners.
00:42Place down!
00:45Yes, yes, successful stink.
00:49Around every corner...
00:51Great acting, mate.
00:53There's a new challenge for the traffic cops.
00:57They're part of the vehicle now!
01:00I'm going home!
01:01Stay led!
01:02Stop grabbing me like that!
01:06It's crash, crash, crash!
01:08I've got it.
01:10Coming up...
01:11Drivers potentially got no pulse.
01:13Extreme weather.
01:14Six month old baby in the car.
01:16And the baby's more as well.
01:17And bad decisions.
01:18The tractor's pulled out here.
01:20It's failed to stop.
01:21Fiesta's hit here, and then ended up over there.
01:23Along country roads.
01:25The tractor drivers alleging that the brakes have failed on it.
01:28And distracted drivers.
01:30When he hit the vehicle, he was on the wrong side of the road.
01:32Okay.
01:33And was coming around the corner at some speed.
01:35Putting lives at risk.
01:36You can look like that as much as you want, okay?
01:38Nobody else has come off the road.
01:40Yes.
01:41Okay, so you're going too fast for the conditions.
01:43Yeah, I've just heard you'll ask to another force about the weather situation.
01:57I'm honest with this Channel 4 update.
01:59Derbyshire's Peak District is one of Britain's highest national parks.
02:05Affected by severe conditions most winters.
02:08Sunday morning, and there's been a big dump of snow overnight.
02:14Which obviously means that people are, again, not used to driving in it.
02:20There's been a few accidents already that we've attended to this morning.
02:24People either going onto roads that the cars can't cope with or just going too fast, so...
02:31PC Bex Callan is starting patrol in North Derbyshire.
02:35If I'm on my way to work and there's been heavy rain or snow,
02:41I know it's going to be a shift of crashes, basically.
02:47Because people do not drive to the conditions and they take silly chances.
02:53We'll probably get called to cars that are stuck or collisions, things like that.
02:59So I've got the Ranger today, which is a big 4x4, which does very well in this weather.
03:04So we should be able to get to people if they need help.
03:08I've got you assigned to a job from this morning.
03:11Is that vehicle in a day?
03:151-1, put me to that.
03:16Yeah, I appreciate that, thank you.
03:18It's an RTC up in Hope Valley at Kerber, and the male's in and out of consciousness.
03:27So we need to make our way up there and see what's happened, really.
03:31The incidents occurred in remote countryside.
03:34But we are about 40 minutes away, but we still need to drive to the conditions.
03:42You know, we can't be flying up there at top speed in this weather because we'll have accidents ourselves.
03:48I've just got an update to say that a driver's potentially got no pulse.
03:54So it's taken a turn for the worst.
03:57It was potentially just RTC, but it could be serious injury or fatal.
04:05You know, if he's got no pulse and it's serious injury, life-threatening, you can't see, can you, at all?
04:11See about 100 metres.
04:13Our job is to preserve life first.
04:19That's what we've got to do.
04:25I'm not actually getting any updates at the minute.
04:27Tango-1-1, state 6.
04:29Fire is also state 6.
04:32Tango-1-1, I've got my rescue that's serving cold out.
04:36I don't know if you need it or not.
04:37Oh.
04:38Very slippy.
04:39Right.
04:40Hello.
04:41We were out of time because we were going up there around the corner to see what was happening.
04:55If you're just going to find out.
04:57Right.
04:58Is she breathing, conscious?
04:59She's breathing.
05:00Yeah, we're getting consciousness.
05:03Right.
05:04Any hospital-1-1?
05:07Daughter in the car and baby, who are both fine.
05:11As fire and rescue officers help a mother and baby.
05:14Yeah, she's still in the car, but she is conscious and breathing.
05:17A grandmother, who's the driver, is being kept in the car until paramedics arrive.
05:23Hello.
05:24Were you in the car with her?
05:25Yeah.
05:26Yeah.
05:27Right.
05:28Are you two okay?
05:29Yeah.
05:30Yeah.
05:31Well, ambulance is coming anyway, so they couldn't check you and her out.
05:32It's mainly, like, obviously her.
05:33I'm not in.
05:34Yeah.
05:35It's her.
05:36Yeah, of course.
05:37What's happened?
05:38Have you just been coming down this way?
05:39Yeah.
05:40So we've come, like, obviously it's been icy all the way up, and it's the way that Google
05:44Maps has brought us.
05:45So we've come down here, and, like, she's seen the corner, and the car just kind of started
05:51slipping.
05:52Yeah.
05:53And then it just went.
05:54Yeah.
05:55All right.
05:56And we just went straight up and over the wall.
05:57Yeah.
05:58Okay.
05:59And a Oscar Tango 1-1.
06:01While they wait for an ambulance, a mountain rescue medical team arrives.
06:06The daughter and the baby's fine.
06:09They're leaving her there until we've got somewhere to put her, because at the minute we haven't.
06:16So basically, the driver's been coming down here, and as you can see, on this corner,
06:21it's just compacted snow turned into ice.
06:24And whether she was coming too fast or not, she's not going to have made this corner in
06:30a small Kia.
06:31So she's gone straight over the stone wall into the farmer's field.
06:37Luckily, she seems to be all right.
06:39She's conscious and breathing.
06:40There was a six-month-old baby in the car as well that's all right.
06:44And the baby's mum.
06:46So thankfully, they're both all right.
06:48But just a recipe for disaster coming down here.
06:53Drivers that crash in these conditions are not adjusting their driving style.
06:59Weather warnings go out to say, stay at home.
07:02If you don't need to drive, don't drive.
07:04People don't listen to that.
07:06People still go out into the countryside.
07:09People still go down country lanes when it's been snowing.
07:13And people are going out in their small front-wheel drive, tiny cars, and they get stuck.
07:19After getting as close as they can by road, paramedics arrive on foot to treat the driver.
07:25Where do you live here?
07:27Island.
07:28Just the other side of that tree you can just make out in the mist down there.
07:32Ah, right.
07:33An eyewitness confirms to Bex what happened.
07:36This is always terrible in this weather.
07:39People just don't come prepared and drivers don't realise quite how steep the road is.
07:44I think last year there were four that went through this particular wall.
07:48If it's snowy like this, don't come over the moorland roads.
07:53Beautiful job.
07:56Every year we get three or four cars and usually a van.
08:01And sometimes they go through the wall, sometimes they bounce off it.
08:05But it's a regular occurrence.
08:07I would definitely be at home, was I not at work today.
08:11I would be at work.
08:12You can try one.
08:13Good work.
08:14Yeah.
08:15The driver's going to be checked over at a local trauma unit.
08:20So the lady's gone off to hospital with aches and pains.
08:25I don't think there's major damage to a car.
08:27There's damage to a bit of wall.
08:29Baby and her daughter's fine.
08:32So yeah, we've scraped the road so nobody else has a crash around this corner, hopefully.
08:37And we'll get off to the next job.
08:43Coming up.
08:44A report of what appears to be a potential fatal RTC.
08:47A bad crash.
08:48We've got reports of a couple of casualties.
08:50On a dark rural road.
08:52The tractor has come out of this junction where it collided with the fiesta.
08:56Leaves a life in the balance.
08:58If somebody's going to die from this, you know, we need to find out answers and what caused it.
09:02Forcing officers to make an arrest.
09:04Causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
09:07From an A traffic unit to start making the way, please.
09:24We've got a report of what appears to be a potential fatal RTC.
09:28What is the job?
09:31I've heard nothing what it is other than a RTC.
09:34I think it's a farm.
09:36Just stand by.
09:37I'll have another lot.
09:38Is anybody unconscious?
09:40Near Chesterfield, PC Craig Dawes is on his way to a serious crash.
09:45Taxes upside down.
09:47The cars are smoking.
09:49We've got four patients that they're aware of.
09:51Bleeding and wounds.
09:52Vehicles rolled over.
09:54Officers like Craig deal with hundreds of bad smashes on rural roads in winter every year.
10:00We've got reports of a couple of casualties.
10:03Tractors on its roof or on its side.
10:07It's a high speed road.
10:09The sun lifts at that time of night.
10:11It's going to be a bad one.
10:13Anything involving a tractor and a car at speed.
10:17It's going to be quite an impact.
10:20When you are moving agricultural vehicles, tracts and things, they present a high risk really.
10:26Not due to the speed, but due to the size and the dangerous loads that they can carry.
10:31The last thing you want is something running into them.
10:33Yeah, I've been to a couple of serious and fatals on this road.
10:37It's unlit.
10:39I mean, in winter it does get quite bad.
10:41You've got to adapt your driving.
10:43Especially when it's on country roads and dark lanes and things like that.
10:46I mean, it's in the dark.
10:48You're looking out for other road users.
10:50I know.
10:51The driver from the tractor stated to me that he was pulling out of the junction.
10:55His brakes didn't work.
10:56That's when he's rolled out of the junction and the other car's hit him.
10:59He's not got any substantial injuries.
11:01He's just complaining of head pain.
11:03It's the people that were in the other vehicle that have obtained quite bad injury.
11:07As Craig arrives, other emergency services are tending to casualties.
11:12Two, three, state, six.
11:14Mate, can you go in local and apparently got the tractor driver?
11:21Yeah.
11:22Just grab hold of him.
11:23Shall I get an update on this kid?
11:24Yeah.
11:25Traffic cop John Terry was one of the first on scene.
11:28The most seriously injured occupant of the Fiesta is now on the way to Sheppard Northern General.
11:33Significant head injuries, trauma, etc.
11:36So we need to get some MRI scans and everything.
11:38The scene's been locked down.
11:39We're just awaiting the arrival of the forensic collision investigator to have a look at the scene.
11:43After speaking to the tractor driver, Craig updates colleagues.
11:48So we've got the tractor's here.
11:51It said he's pulled out, his brakes have failed.
11:54And he's hit that car there, that Fiesta, made a mess of that.
11:59He's already said my brakes didn't work on it and that's what's caused me to pull out.
12:04Right.
12:05Okay.
12:06His brakes have failed which has made him pull out into the path of this car.
12:09It's a quiet road, as you can see it's unlit, which has sent that car rolling.
12:14Basically now what we do is treat it as we would like a murder scene.
12:18Everything's locked down, we try and keep everybody away from the vehicles and so on
12:21to make sure that any evidence is preserved.
12:24As the Fiesta passengers receive treatment.
12:30Just keep to this side for us.
12:32Craig deals with the young tractor driver.
12:35It's done a procedure that we will request a sample of saliva for a drug swipe and we'll request a sample of breath.
12:43Have you had any drugs in the last 24 hours or anything like that?
12:46Okay.
12:47So what that does now, that will be eight minutes that we just wait for that.
12:53Yes.
12:54Have you had an alcoholic drink in the last 20 minutes?
12:56Blow, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
13:01And that's great, you have blown zero.
13:04With one of the casualties at hospital in a critical condition, a forensic collision investigation is now underway.
13:14Tractor's pulled out here, failed to stop.
13:17Fiesta's hit it.
13:18And ended up over there?
13:19Yeah, and ended up over there.
13:21As soon as we've got the injured people out of the vehicles, we then lock that down as a crime scene just like we would any other scene.
13:27Three in here.
13:29Three in here.
13:30So we've got dad, son and wife in the back.
13:37If somebody's going to die from this, you know, we need to find out answers and what caused it.
13:42Not sure who was driving.
13:44Son was a passenger though, wasn't he?
13:46We've got our forensic collision investigator.
13:48They're going to do a scan, they're going to detect the photos, going to detect road markings.
13:52Crash detective Ian Niven and forensic investigator Emma Lownd take up the case.
13:58Is anybody, any occupants from the vehicle still at sea?
14:01Or mummies in that ambulance down there?
14:03Not worth just finding out from here.
14:05Who was travelling where?
14:06Yeah, who was where?
14:07My name's Ian, I'm one of the police investigators today.
14:12Just a very quick question.
14:14The tractor's come out into this carriageway and the Fiesta's been travelling along this, it's quite a fast road.
14:24The tractor has come out of this junction where it should have given way.
14:28They've collided with each other.
14:31Mark number two here, you can see quite a significant gauge mark, which is where the Fiesta's collided with the tractor, forcing the Fiesta into the road.
14:44Something from the underside of it, usually the wishbone or something similar, has caused the gauge mark in the road surface.
14:50We've got a few more little ones kind of scattered about here, marks three, four and five.
14:55That could be from the tractor overturning or it could be from the Fiesta.
15:00And then you can see a long mark here.
15:03It starts where number seven is and goes all the way to the vehicle there, as you can see by the cat's eyes I've put out.
15:10After it's collided with this vehicle, it's maintained a sort of slightly curved, relatively straight path to where it's come to rest down there.
15:17And then obviously they've dealt with the casualties after that.
15:23Sergeant Adam Shipley is also on scene with an update on the casualty.
15:30He's got a severe, depressed fracture of the skull.
15:34Still life-threatening.
15:37They're putting him on general anaesthetic and they're going in to take him to Hallamshire tonight, now, to be operated on,
15:44which is like a neuro-specialist place for brain injuries.
15:48Yes, they're still saying he's still very calling, still could die, basically.
15:54The tractor drivers alleging that the brakes have failed on it.
15:57So it's crucial for the investigation that they are checked to see if the brakes are working.
16:01Obviously, well, it's on its side.
16:03Any fluids could be draining out, potentially.
16:06So it's important to get it back on its wheels.
16:08It'll just help the examination to warrant by the vehicle examiners.
16:11As the investigation continues, Craig searches for more evidence.
16:16Thank you very much. We'll get somebody to come and sort that for you.
16:19A resident CCTV has captured the incident.
16:23And what it shows is the vehicle travelling down here, getting to the junction and appearing not to really stop.
16:30And it shows it colliding with the Fiesta.
16:34But he said that his brakes have failed and he's overshot the junction.
16:37Well, the CCTV does show him overshooting the junction.
16:40But whether that's due to brake failure or travelling too fast or complacent.
16:46You know, this lad, he comes up and down this road quite a lot.
16:50As he's been and done it numerous times when, you know, nothing's happened.
17:00The tractor driver claims his brakes failed.
17:03But Craig and the team suspect otherwise.
17:06The drug swipe came back as negative.
17:08So what we're going to do now is the driver's going to be arrested for causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
17:14So, and then he'll be transported.
17:16Hi, are you alright? So the time is 9.10, alright?
17:28And I'm arresting you on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
17:34The arrest is necessary for the prompting investigation of the offence and to gain evidence by further questioning.
17:39The teenager will now be taken into police custody.
17:42Right, I understand that your world has probably just fallen out.
17:46Yeah.
17:47Don't worry, it's part of the investigation, alright?
17:51Obviously it's severe and it's quite serious.
17:54But you've probably never been in trouble before in your life, have you?
17:57No.
17:58Alright.
17:59So the last thing that I want you to do is get worried and upset.
18:01Obviously I feel sorry for the occupants in the car.
18:04You know, are they going to pull through?
18:06But I've also got a little bit of sympathy for the, for the tractor driver.
18:10You know, he could be facing a sentence of death by dangerous or causing serious injury by a dangerous drive.
18:15You do feel a little bit sorry for him as well as, you know, the others involved.
18:19You will take it to Ripley custody, okay, where you'll be put in your cell and then you'll be interviewed.
18:24You understand?
18:25Yeah.
18:26So if you just take a seat in that car...
18:27While Craig takes the driver to a police station, recovery of the tractor becomes the priority.
18:33You know, we've got some quite serious injuries to the passenger from the Ford Fiesta.
18:44We need to make sure that the vehicles are roadworthy.
18:47Obviously the tractor, there's some suggestion that there may have been some issue with the braking at the time the collisions took place.
18:54It'll all form part of the long-term investigation plan and how, ultimately, what charges, if any, come towards the driver of the tractor.
19:07Whenever you come across a collision, we tend to find that nobody sets out to cause a collision that day.
19:14You know, it's normally circumstances have unfolded and that's what's caused it.
19:19And, you know, we go and speak to the driver and we find out it's a young lad who's, you know, saved up and bought his first tractor and he was on his way to work.
19:28But, you know, we've also got a duty of care to the injured person.
19:31As far as he's concerned, his world's just ended.
19:45Keep going!
19:46With the rear seat passenger still receiving hospital treatment for a serious head injury.
19:51Right, follow it round now, Phil, follow it round.
19:55Killed it!
19:59Emma and vehicle examiner Trevor Jones inspect the vehicles.
20:0231 years.
20:03Yep.
20:04At some point, these vehicles have come together and collided.
20:07During the collision, the Fiesta, due to the dynamics of the vehicle, has flipped the tractor over onto its side and the rear occupant of the Fiesta was seriously injured.
20:17From an impact point of view, I believe it happened and it came in from its near side.
20:22Yeah, it approached from the near side, yeah.
20:24It's a significant amount of damage.
20:26The front occupants have both walked out of it.
20:28I think the front ones did.
20:29It's the rear occupant that got there.
20:30With what the driver said of the tractor initially, that the brakes failed.
20:34That's obviously the key thing that needs investigating to start with.
20:37OK.
20:38What we're trying to do is get the tractor centralised onto the brake rollers.
20:43It's important to get it centralised for accurate readings.
20:47And basically what happens is, the rollers will drive the wheels.
20:53And the test is, for the foot brake to be applied, to try and stop the rollers rotating.
21:01On this, we've got a split brake.
21:04One pedal, this wheel, other pedal, obviously the left.
21:09But at the incident time, and mainly when they're driving, they'll lock the pedals together to make it one pedal.
21:15OK.
21:16So we're now starting the offside.
21:18Yep.
21:21Rotating.
21:24Start to brake.
21:28Yep.
21:296'10".
21:30So we're now going to lock the pedals together.
21:32And run both rollers together.
21:36Both running.
21:37Yep.
21:38Keep carrying.
21:39What we at?
21:403'10".
21:41How many?
21:42100.
21:432'10".
21:47To lock.
21:506'40", 3'80", nearsight.
21:53And lock.
21:54And locked.
21:56Yeah.
21:57So they're both locked again.
21:58Yep.
22:02The brakes are working.
22:03There's travel, but the brakes do lock and they do work.
22:06Ultimately, if they work, they work.
22:07They work.
22:08So.
22:09Yeah.
22:10So on that basis, you know, the braking system hasn't failed, effectively.
22:14We've got a couple more tests to do with various bits and bobs on it.
22:15We need to just check that the brake lights were working as well, because we have got some CCTV, some distant CCTV from behind it.
22:28So we just want to make sure that the brake lights were working and what we've got on camera is correct.
22:32What I'm going to do, Emma.
22:34Yeah.
22:35I'm going to press the foot brake.
22:36And I just want you to tell me the point at which the lights come on.
22:40Okay.
22:41So I'm starting to press the foot brake now.
22:45Are they on?
22:46No.
22:47Tell me what point the brakes come on.
22:49Yeah.
22:50There.
22:51So it's at that point.
22:53Yeah.
22:54Yeah.
22:55We've managed to establish that the brakes were working.
22:56The wheel got a four wheel lock on the rear wheels.
22:59It's only got a two wheel braking system.
23:01And it was effective.
23:03And we also managed to establish that the brake lights were operating when the brake pedal was pressed.
23:08So the claim that the brakes weren't working doesn't seem to be substantiated at this time.
23:14For the young tractor driver, it means he may face a careless driving charge and a possible prison sentence.
23:25Coming up.
23:26When he hit the vehicle, he was on the wrong side of the road.
23:28Okay.
23:29I was coming around the corner at some speed.
23:30Wet country roads.
23:32This is about where the impact is.
23:34Then he's rolled it a couple of times down there.
23:36And speeding drivers.
23:38Come around the corner and he's lost it basically.
23:41Endangering lives.
23:43Yeah.
23:44She's been lucky.
23:45She's been lucky really.
23:46Hopefully you'll get a suitable punishment for this.
23:48Yeah.
23:49That's just unappreciated.
23:50I know I could say that you were mentioning the weather.
23:51So I appreciate that.
23:52I'm honest with this channel for your update.
23:53It's persisting it down today.
23:54Just looking outside, it's grim.
23:55I think we need a boat today, not a car.
23:56So let's see how it goes.
23:57Let's see how it goes.
23:58Facing a wet shift.
23:59Facing a wet shift on the roads.
24:00The number of storms.
24:01The number ofasonable winds is a wreck.
24:02Tick.
24:03The stroke of the air, the wreck, the wreck, the wreck, the wreck.
24:06The wreck.
24:07The wreck and the wreck and the wreck.
24:08The wreck.
24:09The wreck.
24:10It's moving around the wreck.
24:11that you were mentioning the weather so i appreciate that i'm honest this time of fear update
24:16uh it's persisting it down today just look outside it's grim
24:20i think we need a boat today not a car so let's see how it goes
24:26facing a wet shift on the roads the number of smashes officers like rich morris deal with
24:32increases by a quarter when the weather conditions take a turn for the worst and
24:38you've got heavy rain and high winds what i can't understand is people don't adjust their driving
24:45style according to these conditions although visibility is good relatively you have got a lot
24:51of spray coming up you have pockets of water on the road there's little micro climates everywhere
24:56i think that's one of the questions of life that will never be answered why people don't just slow
25:02down when the weather is atrocious no matter what tires you've got on if you're hitting
25:07a pool of water exceeding the speed limit you've got more of a risk of being involved in a collision
25:14people just don't get it it's it's incredibly stupid that people don't address
25:22adjust their driving style according to the conditions
25:25so it's a38 toyota roundabout on the south rich is responding to reports of a single car collision
25:46so somebody's iphone has gone off because there's been an impact and some cars have a responder in
25:56them they'll make a telephone call when there's been an impact cars actually ringing you up nowadays
26:04we're really living in the future aren't we the actual occupants calling in so i've had a crash my car
26:12once it cut down past his field and locked it to the left a back is not injured cars then stuck in the road
26:20yes noted run away
26:28there is a bmw m series that has come off the road in the wet weather apparently it's not injured so
26:37that's good news
26:41the drivers crashed on a dual carriageway slip road near derby
26:45what's happened there then pal come around the corner and it stepped out and then um that was it
26:52right in the arco railing and okay um right i need to get you recovered then learner
26:58na tango one zero you've got no injuries mate no you're all right the airbag went off
27:05yes yes exactly where it is uh on slip on the southbound that's a snippy corner mode
27:11probably been doing anything you must have been going a bit everybody else is managing to go
27:16around there aren't they that's um it's it's just if everybody else has managed to do it but you
27:25haven't this there's obviously well what else could it be that's that that's what i'm saying honestly
27:30he went literally two seconds he ran a knock on well i am saying though is that everybody else manages to
27:36come around here don't they well before i got here though they were still doing that weren't they
27:44um he's come around the corner and he's lost it basically so but it goes back to what we said
27:51early this morning thousands of people drive down here every day they don't seem to have a problem with
27:56it um it's going too fast isn't it the smashed car will now be recovered while its driver waits for
28:07a lift it is lucky it could have been a lot worse but like say collisions don't just happen
28:15there is a reason for them if there's a crash in bad weather it's the same as a crash in dry weather
28:23it's the fault of the drivers generally unless there's a mechanical defect which most some
28:29people try and use oh it's a mechanical defect my car's failed or my brakes have failed or something
28:34it's a load of rubbish despite his suspicions rich isn't taking any further action against the driver
28:41there's an officer at force hq reports are coming in of another collision female driver
28:54the driver of the benji stand is conscious breathing but does have quick last effects
28:58at the back of the possible growth of arms 20 miles north of rich involving multiple vehicles
29:03the driver of the black vehicle in the fabia split double sign even foreign international
29:10injuries of beta shock and injury to arm is that the one that was rolled well on the radio they just
29:17followed him and he's just got out like dancing fellow traffic cop sergeant adam shipley is also
29:24on route to the scene yes yes the soda family is the one that's rolled and he's the one that's
29:29trying to make off at the same time after a head-on smash on a country road one of the drivers has
29:35tried to run away the majority of accidents crashes we go to um involving young people uh predominantly young
29:42men i think there is an element of some of them um their ambition certainly outstrips their ability
29:51an update young male driver of the black vehicle apparently very agitated
29:55um they're expecting that they're welcome to party possibly sharp we're not sure about drink or drugs
30:01and he won't disclose his name either they're either off the road through drink or drugs or they've
30:07committed a road traffic offense that's that's why they fled the scene why would you
30:11leave the scene of an accident because you don't want to speak to us we're going to what's been
30:19reported as a three car collision at a rural location a couple of minutes away up here um three vehicles
30:30involved and apparently one of them one of the vehicles has rolled several times as well ambulance
30:40are on scene however um we've still got some mess to sort out i think it is a bit of a mess to be
30:49honest uh so we've got to try and work out what's happened and sort it all out
30:57uh oscar tango one zero state six
31:07an injured woman is still behind the wheel of a nissan hey oh you're all right
31:12okay all right perfect nobody in this one right while the skoda driver which rolled several times
31:20following mommy okay has walked away unharmed initially you're looking at the severity of
31:25the incident are there injuries how severe are those injuries if it's damage only
31:31yeah one minute just let listen let him just deal with initial stuff then we'll slow it all down
31:39that's okay yeah we'll chill chill we'll be good okay
31:42okay that one's come around the corner yeah he's hit an elderly lady in a vehicle on the wrong side
31:47of the road that's flipped at least twice or possibly thrice okay an off-duty officer witnessed
31:53what happened he's actually climbed through the roof yeah and then he was trying to make off so i
32:00grabbed the hold of him right was he speeding or did you see him doing anything that he shouldn't
32:04have from what i saw he was coming around the corner very fast all right when he hit the vehicle
32:07he was on the wrong side of the road okay and was coming around the corner at some speed all
32:11right you've got your golden hour inquiries where you need to kind of lock that scene down because
32:18you've possibly got witnesses there with dashcam footage or they've witnessed it themselves it's
32:25important to capture that information from the scene um and speak to those people he came over the
32:32brow of the hill yeah this way swerved on the other side of the road right and then tried to pull it back
32:37and then pulling it back what do you think to his speed was it a bit it's wet into it yeah you know
32:42it's a 50 mile an hour road yeah it might not have been available 50 but the road conditions right but
32:46he was on the wrong so he he took the bend wide as he came around the corner are you in a car then are
32:51you i'm in that car you're in this one what's happening with him mate is he it's been breathaly
32:57which yeah um nudge doing it yeah it's all gonna be gonna be all good i think um yeah we've got two
33:03we've got two witnesses to it um saying that he's come over this side of the road which closing doubts
33:10uh yeah she's coming up the hill he's descending um he's this is about where the impact is then he's
33:17rolled it a couple of times down there by the looks of it how he's got his seat belt and the driver
33:24if at fault he's had his seat belt fastened on his back he stops the alarm going off to say put your
33:29seat belt on um so he's very lucky saying the car's actually half rolled onto its side but he's not
33:35been ejected and they've gone to a lot recently people not wearing the seat belts um and they've ended
33:40up the base again thrown out the windows um that never ends well that doesn't
33:46you live in leicester in london london london london yeah tell my mate there you need your address
34:05now i just went to him i don't think he's coming back non-license holder
34:10it's a non-license holder yeah non-license okay see now you've got a seat belt as well
34:14is it on the seat behind me right okay adam's piecing together all the information i've arrived
34:20you know after it's all after it's all the dust has settled so to speak the car's a right mess
34:25but thankfully they're talking to the occupants it's looking like the um black scotas come around the
34:31bends too quickly on the wet i'd suggest lost control uh this lady's really wrong place wrong time
34:38doing nothing wrong mind her own business to try back to a friend's house uh the cars have just
34:43collided you can see um offside to offside the scoda's then carried on down the road looks like
34:49it's span hit the bank turned onto its side um and ladies there she's been very carefully took out of
34:56the car by paramedics um so she's yeah she's been lucky she's been lucky really the injured woman's
35:03being taken to hospital with a suspected broken arm the driver of the scoda has been driving that duke
35:09in attention he's not got his seatbelt on it's fastened behind him um as we've seen and there's
35:15some suggestion he might have a driving license or a correct driving license you're going onto rural
35:19country roads quite fast roads sweeping bends it was raining the road was wet and all it takes yeah
35:25there wasn't much on the roads but when there's less cars on the road cars are generally traveling a bit
35:31faster and all it takes is for a car to come around the bend you know them to be on the wrong side at
35:36that time uh and you've got a you know disaster the young driver may now be facing charges we've verified
35:43his identity we know he is we know he's not drunk we know he's not on drugs you know uh ultimately um
35:53there's not really a necessity to arrest him he'll still get put for the courts exactly the same way
35:58and then we're down to the magistrates then to decide what penalty gets hopefully you'll get a
36:04suitable punishment for this if found guilty of dangerous driving the man faces a ban and possibly
36:13a custodial sentence coming up doing a good job of that ain't you a speeding driver in the wet look
36:22you can look like that as much as you want okay you see all these cars coming down here they're not
36:26coming off the road are they narrowly escapes in one piece you're lucky to still be walking
36:42going off the road usually people slow down usually yeah i'm on the b6179 looks like being an rtc
36:56there's a car in the hedge veteran traffic cop pc paul barker is teamed up with rookie pc corey jones
37:05interesting to crash while it's dipping it down a car's hit a bus stop and crashed into a ditch
37:17you're all right mate are you injured the young drivers walked away unharmed
37:21doing a good job of that ain't you and was the ford fiesta's only occupant what happened then
37:26just driving and i think i like i think some water if it was when i smack that went
37:37okay the key's still in it uh yeah everything people tend to crash in bad weather because they
37:43don't make any adjustments to their driving and they just don't switch on and just think
37:48they're just in their own little box in their own little world
37:51and they expect to get everywhere at the same speed and not bother slowing down
37:58uh well you stand reporting for careless driving but not everybody's fun coming off the road are they
38:05and you're going too fast for the uh oh really well really yeah well yeah this first yeah the first one
38:12we've come across tonight you've come off the road because they're driving too fast for the conditions so
38:16you stand reporting you stand reporting for the question because of the prosecutor you
38:19a careless driver you don't have to say anything but it may harm your defense if you don't mention
38:22that something we can later land in court anything you do say may be in evidence
38:27you can look you can look like that as much as you want okay you see all these cars coming down
38:31here they're not coming off the road are they all right no nobody else has come off the road
38:37okay so you're going too fast for the conditions again yeah yeah what i'm going to do is i'll get
38:42somebody to come down and give you a lift home have somebody join me down here just to give this
38:48chop a lift up what's this saying about like record well get to court mate if you uh if you if you
38:55challenge it i don't even think i was driving man i think like 35 probably the man passed his driving
39:03test nine months ago inexperienced drivers tend to crash because their ability isn't as good as what
39:09they think they are they've only just started to drive and they're still learning how to do it and it
39:14takes a while to to be able to drive properly afterwards i think you've done well to get that
39:18uninjured because considering that you've come this far off the road you've rolled and it's left on its
39:25side yeah you're lucky to still be walking it's too fast for the condition basically it's nobody else's
39:35fault that you've come off the road and nobody else is coming off here uh it's not as though it's a
39:40difficult corner that uh to uh to negotiate it's a sweeping uh offside bend uh yeah there's standing
39:50watering places but not on that side you got enough leg room yeah sorted thank you very much
40:01definitely lucky to get that unscratched uninjured i mean the car's rolled a couple of times and it's
40:07been left on its side so for him to walk away from that scratch freeze go and buy a luxury ticket i think
40:19poor old doris won't know what time my bus is now
40:25wet weather plays a role in the death or serious injury of 1300 people a year on uk roads
40:33it baffles me why they just don't slow down a bit and people just don't adjust their driving style
40:40for the conditions you've got a lot of standing water on the roads you've got heavy rain visibility
40:45is not great and these people are just task focused getting to their destination as soon as they can do
40:51the hassle that you go through when your car has been involved in an accident it's not worth it
40:58if you're driving you need to be switched on all the time it's just not worth it
41:04every single time there is heavy rain or snow it is a shift of um towing people out of ditches
41:13getting people out of cars because the aqua planed on the dual carriageways stay at home yeah i'd be at
41:20home if i didn't have to go to work to pull them people out of ditches they're just going out like as
41:26they would usually i'm just going around to mates or we're around to see my mum or whatever well
41:31why now you've just crashed your car anyway the weather climate can change very quickly you know
41:40you can go in derby and it can be five six degrees you get caught to the peaks and it can be minus four
41:46five and so they're they're the challenges where you've got to adapt your driving so you put yourself
41:52a massive risk by just increasing the speed in this episode yeah she's still in the car but she's
41:59conscious and breathing the grandmother who crashed whilst driving in the peak district did not sustain
42:05any serious injuries and has since made a full recovery like she's seen the corner and that the car
42:12just kind of started slipping all right straight up and over yeah no further action was taken by police
42:18in relation to the accident tractor's here yeah it said he's pulled out his brakes have failed
42:26the teenage tractor driver involved in a nighttime collision on an unlit country road
42:31just keep to this side for us was found guilty of causing serious injury by careless driving
42:36he received an 18 month suspended prison sentence
42:39120 hours unpaid work and banned from driving for 18 months he's got severe depressed fracture
42:49at the school still life throughout him uh he's under the put him on general anesthetic
42:54the casualty who was taken to hospital is still recovering after sustaining a serious head injury
43:01no action was taken against the driver rich morris suspected of speeding when losing control on a
43:06dual carriageway slip road it's just if everybody else has managed to do it but you haven't this
43:12there's obviously okay well what else could it be all right yeah follow him my mate the young man
43:18who tried to leave the scene after driving on the wrong side of the road head on into an elderly lady
43:24he's been driving that duke in attention and there's some suggestion he might have a driving
43:28license or a crack driving license was reported on summons to court for careless driving and no license and no
43:35insurance at court he was banned from driving and received a community service order
43:44doing a good job of that ain't you and the young driver who crashed into a bus stop
43:49was reported on summons for careless driving you can look you can look like that as much as you want
43:54okay you see all these cars coming down here they're not coming off the road are they
43:58he accepted responsibility for the crash and attended a driver improvement program
44:04instead of prosecution
