Fairly compelling drama with neat concept. Only thing is that the concept is disconcertingly close tothat of a 1978 series, the similarly titled Accident. Same repeated replay from different angles of a horrific motorway pileup, same structure of flashbacks interpersed with present investigation and unfoldng dramas of those affected, samemix of quotidian and high finance characters, even a similar guilty party fleeing into the woods from the scene of the crash. I liked both, the earlier one a bit more soap opera-like (a major incidental virtue being credits and title music from the folks who provided the same for Terry Nation's 1975 Survivors), this one more thriller-oriented. Not at the peak of deviser Anthony Horowitz's powers but good enough, especially if you haven't traveled this tangled wreck-filled stretch of road before.
