A documentary by Hugh Burnett.
For five weeks, night and day, BBC film crews with hand-held cameras manned a police post on the M1 near the Luton and Dunstable Hospital. As accident calls came in, BBC cameras and police cars raced to the crashes, filming the scenes on the road, and the admissions to the hospital casualty department.
This film, widely acclaimed by the critics, is a record of the normal life of the police patrols, doctors, and motorists, whose lives are tied to the daily tragedies that occur on the roads of Britain.

Filmed with the Bedfordshire Constabulary, The Luton and Dunstable Hospital and the County Borough of Luton Ambulance Service
