When a 44 tonne freight lorry crashes and capsizes in the middle of the M6 a major incident is declared. With the morning rush hour fast approaching and tonnes of wreckage blocking both sides of one of Britain's busiest motorways, the patrollers have their work cut out.

A man tries to pull the wool over the patroller's eyes when he runs out of fuel on the motorway, an HGV almost catches fire when his brakes lock on, and a school bus breaks down in a dangerous spot.

The motorway patrollers must act quickly to avert disaster when the control room spots a woman attempting to wave down passing traffic on the M6.

And when a young driver crashes into the central reservation on his way into work the terrifying moment is captured on CCTV. Trapped in his car and with drivers dangerously swerving to avoid him, the patrollers must get there fast.

And a man is trapped in his smoking lorry cab which threatens to catch fire after crashing on the M5.
