For a look into the high-octane world of Australian law enforcement, look no further than “Highway Patrol.” This Monday’s episode, “Crash Chaos,” delivers just that, with high-speed chases, drug-impaired drivers, and the ever-present dangers faced by officers on the road.
The Victoria Police Traffic Units are front and center as they tackle a range of incidents. In one scenario, a hit-and-run driver is found at home, clearly under the influence and utterly uncooperative. In another, a speeding motorcyclist runs a red light, leading officers on a heart-stopping pursuit.
“Highway Patrol” is a raw look at the challenges these officers face daily, from dealing with erratic drivers to investigating complex crash scenes.
“Crash Chaos” airs Monday, 14 April at 7:30 PM on the Seven Network.
