A devastating road accident in the UK is the catalyst for this ITV serial COLLISION.

Beyond the tangle of twisted metal and beleaguered emergency services are the invisible dramas. As Detective Inspector Tolin (Douglas Henshall) begins the task of sifting through the case files he uncovers the events and twists of fate that led the victims to be on this road at the same time. The multi-layered narrative interweaves the stories of the lives touched by the crash, with the stories of those investigating it. The investigation itself soon exposes a web a disturbing revelations, from Government cover-ups to smuggling and even murder. Detective Inspector John Tolin takes up the case despite having recently lost his wife in a road accident which left his daughter disabled. As Tolin pieces together the events leading up to the crash we are introduced to its key figures; including a millionaire property dealer, two brothers involved in a dubious deal, a disgruntled son-in-law, a guilty piano teacher, and police officers pursuing a speeding BMW, to name but a few.

This is well acted and well pieced together to create a compelling drama.
