Duty of Care

BBC One - Motorway Cops, Series 5, Duty of Care

Officers from West Yorkshire attend a serious head-on crash in Bradford.

Officers from West Yorkshire attend a serious head-on crash in Bradford, pursue a fleeing Golf GTI at high speed and go beyond the call of duty to help a war veteran.

A high-speed pursuit through Bradford city centre ends in a head-on collision. The Motorway Cops arrive on the scene to find that the passenger of the car being pursued is bleeding from a serious head wound. Although the driver responsible for the crash has fled, the cops' first priority is caring for the injured. It's only when the paramedics arrive that they can switch from carers back to cops. 

On the M1 near Wakefield, officers pursue another high speed Golf. In his desperation to get away, the driver takes more and more risks. The Motorway Cops officers are in a race against time to bring in air support before they're ordered to stop the pursuit. 

On the M62, officers must force their way through five miles of traffic to help a driver broken down in the fast lane and then have to risk their lives helping a family stuck on the hard shoulder.

And the Motorway Cops go to the aid of a 91-year-old World War Two veteran whose car has collided with a truck on the M62. He's hoping to get to Holland for a regimental reunion and shows such determination to get there that the officers feel compelled to go the extra mile and to help him out.
