An amateur film produced by Arnold Corbett begins with an overturned crane lorry on the road outside the hamlet of Copthill in County Durham and workmen trying to clear the scene. This is followed by a football match taking place in a field near the village of Wearhead in Weardale between the local team and that of Sunderland Association Football Club. Along School Hill, a road outside the hamlet of Copthill in Weardale, an overturned ‘H.D. Ward Ltd’ lorry with crane attachment which has crashed into a drystone wall. Two policemen look over the scene from a safe distance as it has blocking the road. A group of workmen use ropes to drag a large piece of metal, part of the lorry, from the road watched over by the two policemen. A second lorry is then used to push that piece of metal off the road into the verge. A winch has been constructed over the lorry which has upturned it, the road now cleared a car drives past. The workmen move one of three wooden poles onto which the winch used to move the lorry is attached as it was also blocking the road. A crowd now gathers looking over the accident scene, the workmen and one of the policemen look over the wreck of the lorry.
