There is no such thing as an accident on the road. Every crash has a cause and it’s up to the highly-skilled members of the Crash Investigation Unit, the stars of Channel Seven’s new factual series, to find it.

In this series, viewers will see that the anatomy of a car crash is far more complex than the carnage found at first glance.
