Twenty-five million people around the world, more US citizens than in all America’s wars, James Dean, Grace Kelly, Steve McQueen and Princess Diana – all victims of one of the greatest man-made killers: the car.

Twenty-five million people around the world, more US citizens than in all America’s wars, James Dean, Grace Kelly, Steve McQueen and Princess Diana – all victims of one of the greatest man-made killers: the car. From the makers of the acclaimed Black Box, Crash looks at the heavily-chequered history of car safety – how early safety campaigns were scrapped fearing damage to car sales, how cars in the ’50s were secret death traps and why US motorists are switching off their air bags. With re-enactments of Diana’s fatal crash, footage of accident scenes and a visit to the most dangerous road in the world, Crash investigates why road deaths are again on the rise.
