The Motorway: Season 3, Episode 3

Episode 3

The motorway patrollers face off with a pack of escaped sheep and are forced to shut down the entire M6 as a desperate ewe makes a break for freedom right into six lanes of high-speed traffic.

Vicky and Steve have a risky job to do when they must expertly hand retrieve a smashed up wooden pallet that threatens the safety of motorists, without bringing the motorway to a stop.

A hard-up driver attempting to get home on an empty tank is confronted by the patrollers when he runs out of fuel in a live lane of the motorway.

And a seven car pile-up on the M62 near Manchester causes Friday night chaos. With twenty members of public stranded on a live motorway, the patrollers face the challenge of keeping everyone safe whilst trying to clear more than seven tonnes of wrecked cars.
