Britain’s roads are getting more and more dangerous. Every 16 minutes, someone is killed.

This gritty new documentary series filmed at one of the country’s largest trauma units, University Hospital Coventry, follows medical teams working against the clock to save the lives of people injured in traffic collisions.

A&E: Crash Scene Emergency follows unfolding real-life stories minute by minute from jaw-dropping accidents to roadside recovery, from time critical decisions in the emergency department to cutting edge surgery.

Buckle your seatbelt… this series is not for the faint-hearted.

The series is currently going out on Channel 5 and the first three episodes are available to watch on My5.
