The Derbyshire Traffic Cops are back on Channel 5, and this episode doesn’t pull any punches. Responding to over 1600 crashes a year in Derbyshire alone is no walk in the park.
A major collision takes center stage, as a car inexplicably crosses the central reservation, resulting in a three-car pile-up. The aftermath is chaotic, and the officers must act quickly to assess the situation and ensure the safety of those involved. Meanwhile, another incident unfolds: a lorry has crashed into a bridge barrier, leaving the driver trapped precariously inside the cabin, which now dangles over the edge. It’s a race against time as fire crews work to extract the driver safely.
While emergency services deal with the immediate crisis, crash investigators begin the painstaking process of piecing together the cause of the multi-car collision. This is where “Traffic Cops” shines, offering viewers insight into the meticulous work of accident reconstruction and the often-unseen side of policing.
This episode will undoubtedly be a tense watch, highlighting the dedication and skill of the traffic officers and the often-harrowing situations they encounter. Tune in to Channel 5 at 8:00 PM on Monday, January 27, 2025, for a gripping look at the realities of life on the front lines of traffic policing.
