The Accident is a four-part British television drama miniseries starring Sarah Lancashire, which first aired on Channel 4 from 24 October 2019. It explores a fictional Welsh community's fight for justice after an explosion on a construction site, which killed several local children.[1]

Plot[edit]

The (fictional) town of Glyngolau, Wales, has lost its coal mine and steel mill, leaving everyone in financial ruin. A large factory complex, offering 1000 local jobs, is being built in the town by Kallbridge Developments for a Japanese firm. Iwan, head of the town council, worked hard to secure the project.

Accident is a great place to call home, providing an excellent area for raising children, enjoying a reserved country life, or expanding your business in a progressive industrial setting. With a wide variety of local and nearby activities, Accident offers a little bit of everything. The legal system can help the parties sort out who is at fault for the accident, and which party needs to pay the doctors' and mechanics' bills. How a Car Accident Case Works Car accident law is a combination of traffic and personal injury law.

Iwan's 15-year-old daughter, Leona, is a juvenile delinquent and small-time drug dealer; his wife, Polly, catches Leona in bed with a 30+ year old man. Leona takes eight of her teenaged friends to sneak into the building site, to cause destruction and 'annoy my Dad'. Their actions cause some gas canisters to explode, leading the building to collapse, killing site manager Alan and eight of the teens – ringleader Leona is the sole survivor.

  1. But at the end of your rescue mission, you'll be able to analyze the whole situation, pick up the pieces and find out what caused the accident. Various rescue mission scenarios Be a part of different rescue missions: from simple car bumps to serious chain-reaction crashes in various locations, weather conditions and even at different times.
  2. A massive 134-car pileup during a blizzard left one man dead and 17 injured in northern Japan on Tuesday, authorities said. The accident — which took eight hours to clear.
  3. The responding officers will fill out an accident report and document the scene. If the police can't come to the scene of the accident, you can go to the nearest police station and complete a report yourself, according to the III. When you file a claim with your insurer, they may ask for a copy of the police report to help with the claims process.

Polly leads a campaign to find out who was responsible for the incident. A public inquiry is held, apportioning the largest blame on Leona and her friends, for breaking in to the site and for damaging the material that exploded. A portion of the blame is placed on Alan, for allowing the gas canisters to be stored improperly. The final portion is laid on the company, which has to pay large fines for breaches of health and safety guidelines.

Polly and Iwan have a tempestuous relationship, struggling with Leona's injuries and the jealousy of the other parents. Polly also suspects Iwan may know more than he's letting on.

Philip, a campaigning lawyer, helps the towns launch a private prosecution on charges of gross negligence manslaughter against Harriet, the senior vice-president at Kallbridge leading the project.

The prosecution is not going well, until Polly convinces Iwan to tell everything he might know. On the stand, Iwan reveals that Harriet knew that the steel used in the structure was sub-standard, which allowed the building to collapse, that he still has her emails asking him to convince the council's inspector to stay off-site until the steel was encased in concrete, and that he did it to save the town. Iwan and the inspector are both charged, and Harriet is sentenced to seven years in prison.

Reception[edit]

The viewing figures for the series' opening episode were 2.8 million, falling to 2.0 million for the second episode. These were higher than any preceding Channel 4 drama for 2019.[3]

The series was reviewed by The Independent after the first episode, giving it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, complimenting the cast 'packed with sensitive, subtle actors, who can convey emotional blows with a glance'.[4]The Telegraph reviewed episode 2 positively, describing it as a 'righteous, deceptively smart drama, leavened with flashes of warm wit, alive to both the complexities of culpability and the nuances of human relationships'.[5]

The series also attracted a lot of negative criticism. The Telegraph reviewer of the final episode gave the series one star out of five, describing the climax as 'like an episode of the old Granada Television series, Crown Court, but without the dramatic tension'.[6]
