Gear up for another round of metal-crunching mayhem on “Trucking Hell.” This week, the recovery crews face a trio of challenging incidents, each requiring skill, heavy machinery, and nerves of steel. Near the Scottish border, a massive articulated lorry carrying a 40-foot shipping container loaded with tons of wood has gone off the road, tumbling down a steep embankment and landing on its side. It’s a mess of epic proportions, requiring three heavy recovery vehicles to even begin tackling the wreckage.
Down south, Merrie faces a different kind of challenge. A delivery truck is stranded with a useless rear wheel, and it’s up to her to get it back on track. Meanwhile, in the Midlands, a lorry carrying sugar has burst into flames on the busy A1, shutting down the major artery and creating a logistical nightmare.
It’s another day, another disaster in the world of heavy haulage. “Trucking Hell” airs Thursday, 29 May at 9:00 PM BST on 5Action.
