0:00:02 > 0:00:06From the Highlands of Scotland to the coast of Cornwall,
0:00:06 > 0:00:11the Great British countryside is spectacular.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15But we work and play in it at our peril.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17SIREN WAILS
0:00:17 > 0:00:19And when things go wrong,
0:00:19 > 0:00:21the emergency services race to the rescue.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25This chap is having a heart attack and we need to get him in quickly.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29We have a cow on the road.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Countryside policing at its finest here.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Going hundreds of miles against the clock.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Battling the elements
0:00:37 > 0:00:40and braving the waves.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42GROANING
0:00:42 > 0:00:44From fields and forests,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47to cliffs and country roads,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49we'll be right at the heart of the action.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51SIREN WAILS
0:00:51 > 0:00:53With police fighting crime.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'm not arguing it, I'm reporting you for it.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Paramedics saving lives.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00BABY CRIES
0:01:00 > 0:01:03And lifeguards patrolling the seas.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07We're there as the emergency services pull together
0:01:07 > 0:01:11to pick up, patch up and protect the public.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15This is Countryside 999.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Coming up: In Cornwall, the Air Ambulance fly to a woman who may
0:01:37 > 0:01:40have broken her back.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45I'd like to try, if we can, to give you something. I don't like the idea of you being in pain.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I'm so sensitive to stuff, I really would rather live with the pain.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Two-one standing by.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55In Brecon, a countryside cop comes face-to-face with a van driver.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I am tinkering on seizing the vehicle,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01but I'm willing to give you an opportunity to prove me wrong.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06And in Dumfries and Galloway, a biker takes a spill in the wet.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21We love the spectacular scenery
0:02:21 > 0:02:24and peace and quiet of the British countryside.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30That's what draws millions of us every year
0:02:30 > 0:02:32to spend our holidays here.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Cornwall is a firm favourite,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38with over four and a half million people visiting this
0:02:38 > 0:02:40beautiful area every year.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46But the idyllic country lanes can pose a real threat.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It's hard to get anywhere quickly, and in an
0:02:48 > 0:02:52emergency that really matters.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57From its base at Newquay Airport,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00the Cornwall Air Ambulance can reach any part of the county
0:03:00 > 0:03:03within 20 minutes.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Paramedic Mark Fuszard is a veteran, with over seven years' experience in the air.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I love this job. You come to work at half past seven in the morning
0:03:16 > 0:03:19and you've absolutely no idea what's going to happen during that day.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23From biking accidents...
0:03:26 > 0:03:30What I don't want you to be is to have to be the bravest man in the world
0:03:30 > 0:03:32and tell me it's not hurting when it is.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34..to a holiday-maker's SOS.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42The team never know what challenges they'll meet.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46And that to me is a great part of the job.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Today, Mark is on duty with Ben Mayhew, another
0:03:50 > 0:03:54long serving paramedic with 22 years under his belt.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01They're on their way
0:04:01 > 0:04:03to St Keverne, a remote village
0:04:03 > 0:04:06on The Lizard Peninsula, the most southerly point of Britain.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09A land ambulance crew is on the scene, and
0:04:09 > 0:04:11they've called for help.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13We're on our way to a 41-year-old
0:04:13 > 0:04:15lady who has fallen approximately eight feet
0:04:15 > 0:04:18out of her loft.
0:04:18 > 0:04:24It's a crew request, because this lady has altered sensation in her limbs.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Altered sensation is a bad sign.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32It can mean a broken back or internal bleeding. The air ambulance
0:04:32 > 0:04:35team need to get there fast.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38We've got good access, look at that.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Couldn't be better, could it, really?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Mark's spotted the perfect landing site.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46You happy with the football pitch, John?
0:04:46 > 0:04:47- 'Yeah.'- Fantastic.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50'100 feet.'
0:04:54 > 0:04:58The crew of the land ambulance has already immobilised the patient, Bevan...
0:04:58 > 0:04:59- Hi, Bevan.- Hi, there.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02..to prevent any further damage to her spine.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08Complaining of T12, upper L pain.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Pain score of eight, is refusing any analgesia at all.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Bevan was putting something away in her loft
0:05:15 > 0:05:19when she fell eight feet onto a hard stone floor.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21She may have serious spine damage.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26She was home alone with her six-year-old son Ewan.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29He brought her the phone so she could dial 999.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Obviously, due to the fact you've come out of your loft
0:05:33 > 0:05:35and landed on this hard floor,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38the guys have done what they've done and immobilised you
0:05:38 > 0:05:41and we're going to take you to hospital in a helicopter.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Flying in an air ambulance is faster and smoother than by road,
0:05:45 > 0:05:49but still likely to be intensely painful without drugs.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- You're in a little bit of pain.- I am.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- And you've declined any pain relief. - That's fine.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I'd rather be conscious and aware of it in case it changes.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Anything we do give you isn't going to knock you out,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02it's just going to get rid of your pain.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'd like to try, if we can, to give you something,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I don't like the idea of you being in pain.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I'm so sensitive to stuff, I really would rather live with the pain.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- That's entirely your decision. - I would love to, thank you -
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I'll tell you if it gets unbearable.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- You're looking very uncomfortable at the moment.- It's OK, it's OK.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23I can bear it - it's fine, it's all perfect.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Bevan's made of stern stuff...
0:06:26 > 0:06:29..but it's going to be tough to leave Ewan behind.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I love you so much.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Look into my eyes - it's all going to be absolutely fine, OK?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44150 miles north
0:06:44 > 0:06:48and the Dyfed Powys Police have a very different set of challenges.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It's a remote region and it's the police's job
0:06:52 > 0:06:54to make sure visitors and locals alike
0:06:54 > 0:06:56treat the area with respect.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01But policing isn't just about responding to crime -
0:07:01 > 0:07:03it's about preventing it, too.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09And it's PC Scott Morris's mission to sniff out possible trouble.
0:07:11 > 0:07:18I enjoy my job - it is rewarding, it is good,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22and...I suppose it's one of those jobs
0:07:22 > 0:07:25where you never really know what's going to happen.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28And that carries an element of excitement about it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33You live each day, wondering what's round the corner.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40And around the very next corner,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Scott spies a couple of campers he wants to check out.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Hey, dude, you all right?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Enjoying it? Nice spot.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Very nice spot.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Have you...have you had any tidy weather?
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Have you had any sunshine?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Was it warm yesterday for you or has it been raining?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Quite cold - starting to turn now, though, isn't it?
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Yeah, cold,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11OK. Where are you from, gentlemen?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Spain, very nice indeed -
0:08:14 > 0:08:16very different to this, I dare say.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Armando and Patrizio are Spanish visitors
0:08:22 > 0:08:24who've come to Brecon for a bit of R and R.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Do you have anything with you that you shouldn't have?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Any drugs or offensive weapons?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I appreciate you're camping,
0:08:33 > 0:08:35but...no hunting knives or things like that?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Like a...?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- You've got a flip knife, have you? - It's a knife.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Do you want to get it for me?- Yeah.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I just want to make sure everything's in order.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Even in the heart of the countryside,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55carrying a knife longer than three inches is a serious crime.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58You can end up behind bars for four years.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01But, luckily the lads are staying small scale.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Just be mindful...I don't have a problem with that.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08But obviously...because you're camping,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10reasonably lawful excuse to be carrying it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Make sure it's in a bag, don't leave it out.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Cos obviously...you send out the wrong impression.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19For future reference, if you do have a knife like that,
0:09:19 > 0:09:24if it locks, if the blade locks, it's an offence.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28That's fine, I've got no problem with that, but keep it in a bag.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- OK? Do you have anything else?- No.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Any drugs, any cannabis?- No.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Are you sure? If I search and I find it
0:09:36 > 0:09:39and you don't tell me about it, it could lead to your arrest.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- You do tell me about it... - No, we have nothing.- Good.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- You can check if you want.- No.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, you seem very tidy people.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Enjoy your stay and look after yourselves.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Yeah. Thanks very much. - All the best, take care.- Ciao.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56In anything you do in policing,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59you've got to apply a level of common sense, you know?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02In this instance, two people camping, they're camping,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04they're not causing any fuss,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08the weapon doesn't match what would be deemed an offensive weapon.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13So, therefore, just mainly offer them advice
0:10:13 > 0:10:15to say "You need to keep it in the bag.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17"Not a problem having it, but keep it in your bag."
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Later, Scott dishes out more advice,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24but to a less receptive audience.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26If I ask you a question like that,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28you're looking for a straightforward answer.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Back in Cornwall
0:10:36 > 0:10:39and the paramedics are attending to Bevan,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41who could have a broken spine.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44So this young lady's fallen out of a loft, eight feet,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46landed on a hard surface
0:10:46 > 0:10:48and landed on her back, banging her head.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51She hasn't knocked herself out, so not too worried about that.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56But we are looking at a back injury and possible neck injury.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57- You feel me touching this leg? - Mm-hm.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00When I touch your leg, does it feel the same as when I touch this leg?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Absolutely.- Can you wiggle your toes for me?- Yes.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Can you wiggle your fingers for me? I know I can't see this one...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Have you any funny feelings in your fingers at all?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Any pins and needles or altered sensations?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- No...- Feel numb, or...? - Just cold and numb on the right.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17But that's because it's against a stone floor.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Brilliant - we'll get in the helicopter,
0:11:20 > 0:11:21get you to hospital.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I'll be honest, I am concerned that your pain is eight out of ten.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26That's fine, I'll let you know if it gets worse.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30That's high, eight out of ten is pretty high.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32And they'll want to give you something in hospital.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35You can refuse that, it's your prerogative,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37but I don't like seeing you in so much pain.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39That's fine. I honestly will tell you
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- if it becomes more than I can bear. - OK.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Lift.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Thank you so much, girls.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- That's all right. - You were really lovely.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Bevan's main concern now
0:11:57 > 0:12:00is being separated from her six-year-old son Ewan.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Ewan is coming. Do you want to see him?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Just going to slide her in, then you can step up.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Slide her in - how we doing?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19How we doing? Mind your elbow...
0:12:19 > 0:12:22That's fantastic. Do you want to step up?
0:12:24 > 0:12:25There you go, onto there.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29There you go, darling, lean over my face so I can see you.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32OK, let me give you a big kiss.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I love you so much. Look in my eyes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- It's all going to be fine, OK?- OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41What's her number to make sure...?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44OK - you need to get someone to find names.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Press the letter T, it'll show you Tara and Tristan.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- PARAMEDIC: I'll find it. - Ewan, Ewan...
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Ewan, what we'll give you, we'll give that to your mum
0:12:53 > 0:12:54and she'll give it to you.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56It's a little bear - how's that?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59You've got to take care of it for Mum, all right?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03What we'll do, Ewan, I'm going to lift you out
0:13:03 > 0:13:05because I don't want you falling out.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07See you later...Ewan?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18For now, Ewan will stay with his grandad.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22But Bevan needs to get to hospital, fast.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Only then will she discover if she's suffered permanent damage
0:13:38 > 0:13:40to her badly injured back.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Later - the pain becomes unbearable for Bevan...
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- It really hurts. - Don't lift your head up.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Scott does his best to keep calm...
0:13:57 > 0:14:00It is an offence under the Road Traffic Act.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02However, I'm not going to get overly excited about it...
0:14:04 > 0:14:08But first, an elderly man has a mysterious turn.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- So you've not had any heart problems in the past?- No.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Blood pressure problems?- No.- No?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22In Dumfries and Galloway,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25the paramedics are kept busy morning till night.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27They race to roadside collisions...
0:14:30 > 0:14:32..patch up jockeys who've taken a tumble...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Lie still - put your legs down and listen to me.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38..and take care of the elderly.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Got any pain there at the moment?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48From their base in Castle Douglas,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51paramedics Andy Chapel and Carol Ann McCombe
0:14:51 > 0:14:53are blue lighting to Kirkcudbright.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57An elderly man has keeled over at the wheel of his car.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03The information we've been given is this is a 78-year-old male
0:15:03 > 0:15:08who's collapsed outside a house and is in a car
0:15:08 > 0:15:10and he's got some heart problems.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14This is what I would class as a red call
0:15:14 > 0:15:16because the patient is potentially unconscious.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Arriving at Kirkcudbright,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22the good news is the patient is not unconscious.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26James is resting in the back of his car.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Hello, sir, how we doing?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34What's happened to you?
0:15:34 > 0:15:3778-year-old James had a funny turn while he was reversing.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42How do you feel now? Back to normal?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Have you had any pain in your chest?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Any history of any medical problems?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Just come with me, nice and steady.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Have you ever had anything like this before?
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Now and again...
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Just pop up there and let's have a look at you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08How do you feel now?
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Completely back to normal?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Were you driving?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Aye.- Oh, right. Just felt dizzy?
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Light headed?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22James is up for a bit of banter,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26but Andy and Carol Ann need to find out the cause of his collapse.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Do you have blood pressure problems? - No.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Is your blood pressure normally low?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Have you had an ECG before?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42We'll do that for you now.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- OK. Can I just get the vest up?- Aye.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Nice and relaxed for me, as if you were sleeping.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01But they're not happy with the readings from the ECG.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- So you've not had any heart problems in the past?- No.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08You say you've had ECG's done before?
0:17:09 > 0:17:10What was that for?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Ah right, you see, you didn't tell me that.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19James's news is further cause for concern for Andy.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I think we'll maybe just nip up to the health centre
0:17:23 > 0:17:25and have a word with the GPs.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30We don't have to rush you up to Dumfries just yet.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Carol Ann runs James and his wife Mary to the
0:17:34 > 0:17:38local Health Centre, James's own GP, Doctor Lock is luckily on call.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Here we are, the man of the moment.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Hello there.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Ten minute episode of sweating and dizziness.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Spontaneous recovery.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Right.- Everything checks out now.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56His BP's 98/54 now.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57He says he's had previous
0:17:57 > 0:18:00episodes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03James's wife Mary is worried about the medication he's taking
0:18:03 > 0:18:06for his previous medical problems.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09You're on two or three tablets now that will drop the pressure.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Yes, that was what I was saying to him.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16D'you want him to still keep
0:18:16 > 0:18:18his appointment with you tomorrow?
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Aye, do that. If you're not so good, don't drive over, I'll come and see you.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23There, you've got your instructions.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Right I've got my instructions.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29OK, Sir, see you tomorrow.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And Andy has more instructions for James.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37What you'll have to do is get her to run around after you all day.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38James is OK for now.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44And Mary has some of her own medicine.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47That's gin she's put in that you know.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Back in Brecon, and PC Scott is on patrol.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Earlier he checked out some sleepy Spanish campers.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I've not got a problem with that,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09just make sure you keep it in the bag.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12And now he's got his sight set on a silver Saxo.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Older car, checking out.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20It's got a brake light out,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22so automatically the vehicle's
0:19:22 > 0:19:25committing an offence under the Road Traffic Act.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Punishable by a fixed penalty.
0:19:28 > 0:19:34It's not something I'll get overly concerned about yet.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Hi, mate, you all right?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- You've got a brake light out on the offside, were you aware of that?- No.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47It is an offence under the Road Traffic Act.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50However, I'm not going to get overly excited about it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Now I've made you aware of it, I expect you to rectify it.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57If I see your vehicle in the next seven days and you haven't had
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- it, then you can expect a ticket then, fair enough?- Yeah.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Offside, that's this side, yes? - Yeah.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Now the car's sorted, Scott decides to step up a gear.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11OK, do you have anything in the car you shouldn't have?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- That I shouldn't have?- Yeah.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16No offensive weapons, no drugs, no cannabis, anything like that?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Why not to your knowledge, nobody else driven the car?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I very much doubt it.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37So you haven't got anything yourself, anything in your pockets,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40if I was to search you, am I going to find anything?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49What I'm thinking of obviously is anything that's illegal.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Robert's vagueness is not cutting the mustard with Scott.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58You're not filling me with confidence, Robert, all right?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04What I'm going to say, if I ask you a question like that, right,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06you're looking for a straightforward answer, OK?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09You seem... Although you seem quite chatty,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12very tidy indeed, you seem a little nervous
0:21:12 > 0:21:15when I'm putting you on the spot about illegal stuff,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17and you're not giving me a straight answer.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20It's for that reason I'm going to search you,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22because I believe potentially you could have something on you
0:21:22 > 0:21:25due to...due to your mannerisms.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27If I've got to search you
0:21:27 > 0:21:30and you're in possession of something illegal
0:21:30 > 0:21:32and you haven't told me about it,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34then you're going straight to custody.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Does that make sense?- Yes. - Do you have anything then?- No.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Good, now why didn't I get that answer from the start?!
0:21:42 > 0:21:44If you just pop your hands out to the side for me.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Last chance, am I going to find anything now?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Save us a lot of trouble?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I don't think you're going to find anything.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58I'd be very surprised if you do.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Not quite getting to the straight answers, though.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11It's all getting a bit personal now.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I'm just going to touch your backside. Not for any thrills,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16just to see if you have anything in your back pocket.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20But if Scott does find anything, Robert's going down.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23That's fine, Robert. If you just bear with me, I'm going to search the car.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Is there anything in it, before I go through it?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Very last chance saloon now. Good.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31That's good, this is what we like.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Is the boot open, Robert?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Nothing doing, but even so,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Scott needs to have a bit of a straight talk with Robert.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51OK, mate, that's lovely.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53You gave a straight answer,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57at one point, but other than that you were a bit vague with your answers.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Just answer straightforward. If you haven't got anything...
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I had to think for a moment what you were, you know...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- OK, no problem. Happy? - I'm all right, yeah.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Sort the light out, soon as you can, seven days.- Yeah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- And tip-top. All right, mate? - All right.- Top man.- No problems.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Look after yourself.- OK. - Take care, all the best.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23His vagueness starts the alarm bells ringing straight away.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26In my opinion and my experience,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30you know if you've got something on you you shouldn't have.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33So it's often the case that a vague answer
0:23:33 > 0:23:36can prove to a successful find.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40There's no cause for celebration yet.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45For now, Scott lies in wait.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Static observation is like a tin of Quality Street,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56you have literally got to try and pick the tastiest ones.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02And not every car that passes you... is going to be the tasty one.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09And later, Scott hopes he's found the big purple one.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Our records show there's no insurance policy. So obviously,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18we need to stop him now, speak to the driver and see what he's got to say.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Back in Cornwall, Air Ambulance paramedics are with Bevan,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35a young mum with a suspected broken spine.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38It's all going to be absolutely fine, OK?
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Complaining of T12, upper L pain.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49- Pain score of about eight, is refusing any analgesia at all.- OK.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- You're in a little bit of pain? - I am.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- And you've declined any pain relief. - Yes, that's fine.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I'm so sensitive to stuff that
0:24:58 > 0:24:59I really would rather live with the pain.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05In flight to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Bevan soldiers on.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Are you OK?- Yes, fine thanks.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Bevan's choice is not to have any analgesia.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24And that is completely her choice.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26If she decides she doesn't want any pain relief,
0:25:26 > 0:25:27she doesn't have to have any.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31We tried to persuade her, and she is in quite a bit of pain
0:25:31 > 0:25:34but she'd rather manage that pain herself.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36At least the journey's not too long.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39The air ambulance can cover the 15 miles
0:25:39 > 0:25:42to the hospital at Treliske in Truro in 10 minutes.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45By road, it's about an hour.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Anybody who may have suffered a back injury,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52it's going to be very uncomfortable for them to be conveyed by road.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55They're tend to feel every lump and bump.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59So travelling by air does give us a slightly more comfortable ride,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01as well as a quicker ride to hospital.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05The helicopter lands safely.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11But Bevan's pain is really kicking in now.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14It just really hurts, not a scratch, but feel it, it really hurts.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Don't lift your head up.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Is it in the realm where I'm touching you now?- Just below it.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Where it's on the board. About an inch or two below it.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Once you come off the board, which they'll do fairly quickly in the department,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27where they'll keep you immobilised,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- hopefully that'll relieve that tension there.- OK.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35- I hit it on the stone floor when I landed on it.- Did you? Yeah.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Bevan will make the final leg of her excruciating journey
0:26:40 > 0:26:41in a land ambulance.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45But for now, Ben and Mark's job is done.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51The majority of the jobs we do go to on the aircraft are patients
0:26:51 > 0:26:53that need to be in hospital quickly.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58So we tend to see a lot of poorly patients on the helicopter.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01It is very rewarding to think we can make a difference
0:27:01 > 0:27:04to this patient by getting them to definitive care
0:27:04 > 0:27:07and to hospitals really quickly.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11But for Bevan, it's a long road to recovery.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Later, Bevan re-lives the trauma.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17There was nothing I could do to stop myself,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19there was nothing to grab on to.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I knew straight away I'd done something serious.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35In Dumfries and Galloway, the country roads can prove lethal.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40And here, just like the rest of the country,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49Just 1% of the traffic and nearly 20% of the deaths.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55It's a rainy day in Castle Douglas
0:27:55 > 0:27:58and paramedics Sandra Little and Caroline McGranahan
0:27:58 > 0:28:01have been called out to a motorbike crash.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06You just always fear the worst till you get there and see how it is.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10If it's out in an open road, you would expect the worst.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Probably...leg injuries, pelvic injuries,
0:28:14 > 0:28:19head injuries would be the main concern.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21If they're not in collision with anything else
0:28:21 > 0:28:23then it wouldn't be so bad.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Christopher came off his brand-new motorbike
0:28:26 > 0:28:28when he skidded in the rain.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Thankfully, the accident happened in the middle of town,
0:28:31 > 0:28:33and he wasn't going too fast.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Have you got pain anywhere just now, Christopher?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39His elbow and his hip, Caroline.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I saw you sort of limping on that left...your right hip?
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Right hip, aye. It stings a bit.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46'The young lad's obviously had a fright,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49'so he could be in a lot more pain than he realises at the time.'
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Probably in a wee bit of shock.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53I'm going to go and look at his helmet,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55see if there's any marks on the helmet.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Despite the rain,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Caroline needs to look at the damage
0:28:59 > 0:29:02to Christopher's helmet and the bike.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03- Where's his bike?- Over there.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05I'm going to have a quick look at his bike.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07'If there's a lot of damage to the bike,
0:29:07 > 0:29:12'then there's a good chance the casualty will be more seriously injured.'
0:29:12 > 0:29:14If there's little damage to the bike,
0:29:14 > 0:29:17then that's what you want, you want to see that.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21There was very slight damage to the front visor
0:29:21 > 0:29:24and the head lamps so that's good.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29- Did the bike just...- Just slipped away from me.- Just slid out.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- So you've not had any impact with any other object or anything?- No.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Got your helmet and gloves here.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- There's no marks at all on your helmet.- No...- Is this just new?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45It's brand-new and all?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- You just literally bought the bike? Is that your first trip on it?- Aye.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- Oh, God! - That's a right scunner, that.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Beginner's bad luck.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57The bike's come off lightly,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00but Caroline and Sandra are still worried about the biker.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05I think we should take you into Dumfries and get you X-rayed anyway.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10- Well, it's nothing...- I know, but if you're complaining of pain and that.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13No, it's just where I've stretched it.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17'I would have felt happier if we'd taken him in and got him X-rayed,'
0:30:17 > 0:30:20just to make 100% sure that he hadn't any broken bones
0:30:20 > 0:30:23or any internal damage.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27But he didn't want to go. So... Can't force him.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Is your jeans torn or anything?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32No, no... Well, don't think so, no.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39It could have been a total wash out for Christopher,
0:30:39 > 0:30:43but his spill in the wet hasn't dampened his enthusiasm.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46As soon as it gets fixed I'll be back on it.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Back in Brecon,
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Scott is policing the main mountain road into the county.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Our primary role is to show a presence,
0:31:06 > 0:31:11and obviously try and enforce the ideas we are trying to get across.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13And that's...
0:31:13 > 0:31:16almost pretty much, really, to prevent criminals
0:31:16 > 0:31:18travelling into the county.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Scott spots a vehicle he wants to check out.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25It's a white Ford Transit.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Quick as a flash, he gets onto Control.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32'The report's MOT is in order,
0:31:32 > 0:31:35'insurance details have come back as not held.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37'The index is negative CIS.'
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Did you say insurance not held?
0:31:43 > 0:31:46'Yes, details not held, over.'
0:31:47 > 0:31:50That's all received, thank you. 2-1 standing by.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Right, OK. So straight away the incentive to stop this vehicle
0:31:54 > 0:31:56is borne out by the fact that
0:31:56 > 0:32:00our records show that there's no insurance policy in being.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02So obviously...
0:32:02 > 0:32:05we need to stop him now, speak to the driver and see what he's got to say.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09It may be something innocent as in, just taken out today,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11not been uploaded, whatever.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Hey, dude, you all right? - All right, sir.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- Nothing to worry about, just routine check.- My licence?
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Yeah, you've got it there have you?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- Is it your van, pal? - No, it's the boss's.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25It's your boss, is it?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28It's not showing as any insurance on here. Any idea why?
0:32:28 > 0:32:29Are you able to speak to your boss?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- Have you got him on the phone? - I'll check.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33I should have his number in here.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39The driver can't get hold of his boss,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41so Scott decides a search is in order.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Looks like you've got half of Epping Forest in here, have you?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Right. Right. Have a seat back in the van.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50We'll see if you can get hold of your boss.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53What I'm going to do in the interim is try
0:32:53 > 0:32:57and get hold of the Motor Insurance Bureau, and do a check with them.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Have a seat. I'm going to run a couple of checks
0:32:59 > 0:33:00and we'll come back to you.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06The database contains the details of all vehicles
0:33:06 > 0:33:09insured in the UK, but it's not infallible.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13The driver's saying he thinks it's on a trader's policy.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18I'm not happy with that answer. Could you do some checks?
0:33:18 > 0:33:19BEEP
0:33:19 > 0:33:21'Yes. We'll ring the number.'
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Can I ask you to ring the following number?
0:33:23 > 0:33:27The gentleman I've got on stop, it's his boss, allegedly,
0:33:27 > 0:33:29who may have details of the insurance,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32which you can then quote to MIB.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33BEEPING
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- 'Yeah, that's received.'- Right.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40How it'll work now, all right...
0:33:40 > 0:33:44I've asked my operations room to ring your boss.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45BEEPING
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Yeah, go ahead.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52- 'Yeah, just giving that number as 0-7...'- 0-7...
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Number dialled, and they've never heard of a Dean.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Looks like the driver got his boss's number wrong.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04That's not helping to clear the matter up.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Play the waiting game now and see if they get back to me.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12Still, there could be worse spots to sit and wait.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17I'll detain him further so that I can carry out further checks,
0:34:17 > 0:34:21and if that throws back that there isn't any insurance,
0:34:21 > 0:34:25then it'll be a case of seizing the vehicle under the Road Traffic Act.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28'MIB have been spoken to. They state there's currently no records,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31'but for further information to be gained,
0:34:31 > 0:34:33'we'd need to know who the insurance company are.'
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Yes, stand by. It's not looking good.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42The onus is on you to prove that you've got insurance.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45I've done two preliminary checks that are open to me.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Both of those checks throw back the fact that this van doesn't have
0:34:49 > 0:34:51any form of insurance on it. OK?
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Now, where we stand on it at the moment, I'll be seizing the van
0:34:56 > 0:34:59under the Road Traffic Act, but what I want to do, in the interests
0:34:59 > 0:35:03of fair play and to give you an opportunity to sort the matter out,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05is you need to get hold of your boss.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06PHONE RINGS
0:35:06 > 0:35:07Hello?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10I've been stopped by the police...
0:35:12 > 0:35:14They're going to...
0:35:14 > 0:35:17The other chap is going to bring the insurance certificate
0:35:17 > 0:35:19and details and everything over to...
0:35:19 > 0:35:20He doesn't need to come here.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21PHONE RINGS
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Hello?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27If it proves that there's no insurance on it,
0:35:27 > 0:35:30then you're going to get six points. That's minimum.
0:35:30 > 0:35:35- Yeah?- It's an expensive game, insurance. And rightly so.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37The poor driver is feeling the pressure.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Because if someone was to hit you with no insurance, you'd have
0:35:42 > 0:35:44enough to say, wouldn't you?
0:35:44 > 0:35:46The driver tries again.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48I'll ask him, but I don't know if...
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Would I be able to take you back to the main office, or...?
0:35:52 > 0:35:57The vehicle can't move until I'm satisfied that there's insurance.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01- If that's your boss...- No, this is a mate of mine. He's...- Quite.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02Oh, dear.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05I'm not going to wait all day for somebody to turn up.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08I am tinkering on seizing the vehicle,
0:36:08 > 0:36:11but I'm willing to offer you an opportunity to prove me wrong.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15I want the name of the company that it's insured with,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- a policy number and a contact telephone number.- Hello?
0:36:19 > 0:36:23All right? Yeah, it's not coming up on the database, nothing.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Driving with no insurance is deemed quite a serious road traffic offence.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34He could be looking to receive anything up to a £300 fine
0:36:34 > 0:36:37plus costs,
0:36:37 > 0:36:39six penalty points on his licence...
0:36:39 > 0:36:41MESSAGE ON RADIO
0:36:41 > 0:36:43..and a seizure fee of around £180-plus,
0:36:43 > 0:36:47depending on how long the vehicle remains in a lock-up.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54But, try as he might, the driver just can't come up with the insurance details.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57He's run out of options, and so has Scott.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- He has to... I can't get through. - Right. OK.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03What I'm going to say is,
0:37:03 > 0:37:07obviously, the van will be seized and taken to a local lock-up.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09So what I need to you do... Grab the keys.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Just come and have a jump in the car.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16For today, it's the end of the road for this unlucky driver.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21You're now being reported for the offence of driving
0:37:21 > 0:37:25a motor vehicle on a road without a valid certificate of insurance, OK?
0:37:25 > 0:37:29You will receive a summons in the post.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32If the case is proven against him, it could turn out to be
0:37:32 > 0:37:36an expensive afternoon, with a fine and six points on his licence.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Yeah, there we are. Excellent. Thanks, boss.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54And, as his van disappears into the sunset,
0:37:54 > 0:37:58it's back to the ranch in the back of the car for this driver.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15Earlier, in Cornwall, air ambulance paramedics came to the rescue
0:38:15 > 0:38:18of Bevan, who fell 8ft off a ladder at home
0:38:18 > 0:38:19onto a hard stone floor.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22- Can you wiggle your toes for me? - Yes.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26OK, can you wiggle your fingers for me? I know we can't see this...
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Bevan was rushed to hospital in a helicopter,
0:38:31 > 0:38:33but not before she said goodbye to her son, Ewan.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Oh, I love you so much. Hey, look at me. Look at my eyes.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41It's all going to be absolutely fine, OK?
0:38:48 > 0:38:51For the last five days, she's been cared for in the trauma unit.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58'I've had quite a few flashbacks to that moment of falling,
0:38:58 > 0:39:01'which just felt sickening. Really horrible. There was nothing
0:39:01 > 0:39:04'I could do to stop myself - there was nothing to grab on to.'
0:39:04 > 0:39:06The moment of hitting was pretty...
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Well, I knew straightaway I'd done something serious.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13When the doctor came through the curtains and said,
0:39:13 > 0:39:16"Right, OK, you have broken your back," I was thinking,
0:39:16 > 0:39:19"OK, that's quite big." Honestly, my second thought was,
0:39:19 > 0:39:22"Oh, at least I didn't waste their time with the air crew."
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Bevan had split one of the vertebrae in her lower back,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30and all because she fell 8ft off a ladder.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35I was in the loft because on Sunday we'd been given a new tent
0:39:35 > 0:39:38and I thought, "I'm going to try it out, see what it's like."
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Put it up Sunday, took it down and on Monday morning before breakfast,
0:39:41 > 0:39:43thought, "I'm just going to stick that in the attic,"
0:39:43 > 0:39:45and it went a bit pear-shaped.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52Her six-year-old son, Ewan, was amazingly calm.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Ewan, my little boy, was really brilliant.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57I fell, and so the first thing I said to him was,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00"Ewan you have to get me the phone. I need an ambulance."
0:40:00 > 0:40:04He panicked for about ten seconds, and he held his head and said,
0:40:04 > 0:40:07"Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God." I was like, "It's fine.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10"Just get me the phone," which he did. I said, "I'm going to phone
0:40:10 > 0:40:13"for an ambulance. Go and get your clothes on," and he did.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15And then I phoned the ambulance.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17They were going to come straightaway,
0:40:17 > 0:40:20and after that, he went to the first aid kit and said,
0:40:20 > 0:40:23"I'm going to get you some arnica to help the bruising.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25"What else do I need to do?"
0:40:25 > 0:40:26So yeah, he was really brilliant.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Throughout her ordeal, Bevan refused pain relief.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36All the way through, they were offering me morphine or Entonox,
0:40:36 > 0:40:39but I thought, "I want to be aware to monitor if it changes,
0:40:39 > 0:40:43"because if I'm so drugged or pain-relieved that I can't feel it,
0:40:43 > 0:40:47I won't be able to say, "It's going numb now," or, "It's hurting more,"
0:40:47 > 0:40:48or, "hurting less".
0:40:48 > 0:40:51SHE GROANS Don't lift your head up, but is it in the realm
0:40:51 > 0:40:52of where I'm touching you there?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Yeah, just below it, just an inch or two below it.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01Bevan's a tough cookie, but she did eventually crumble.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04For the first 24 hours, all I had was paracetamol,
0:41:04 > 0:41:07and then I realised that, actually, with a broken back
0:41:07 > 0:41:13and a torn neck and a smacked head, that wasn't kicking it, so, yes,
0:41:13 > 0:41:17I have succumbed to the glories of pain relief from the NHS.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Despite her cracked vertebra,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25thankfully, there was no nerve damage.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29'Yesterday was the big day for standing up,
0:41:29 > 0:41:34'and having the X-ray, and you could see it was a stable fracture,
0:41:34 > 0:41:38'which means I can actually go and recover at home.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41'It's a three-month recovery, so six weeks of bed rest,
0:41:41 > 0:41:44'really taking care of it, three months to let it properly heal,'
0:41:44 > 0:41:48and then it should be fine - full recovery expected.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55So a happy ending for Bevan,
0:41:55 > 0:41:57though it could have turned out so differently.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01We know it was the best outcome, now, but nobody knew that
0:42:01 > 0:42:04at the beginning - it could have been anything.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06There could have been internal bleeding.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08They checked for all of that. There could have been
0:42:08 > 0:42:12any sort of swelling that would have resulted in permanent damage.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14And, um, you know...
0:42:14 > 0:42:18You can't risk that when you've got an hour in an ambulance.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Yeah, five minutes in a helicopter saves lives, doesn't it?
0:42:28 > 0:42:32It's been all go for the emergency services in rural Britain.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39James's dizzy spell was because of low blood pressure.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44The doctor visited the next day, and he's now feeling much better.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52The case against the van driver was withdrawn when it got to court,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54so it looks like he did have insurance after all.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03After staying in hospital for almost a week, Bevan is now up and about,
0:43:03 > 0:43:06but she won't be venturing up to the loft for a while.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13And you thought it was quiet in the countryside.
