Ep 5. Christmas Wrap

In Highway Thru Hell season 5 episode 5, titled "Christmas Wrap," the crew at Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue is gearing up for the holidays. But as with any other day on the Coquihalla Highway in British Columbia, there's no time to rest. The episode follows the team as they tackle some intense wrecks and challenging recoveries amidst the winter weather.

Things start off with a bang as Al Quiring and his team are called to the scene of a loaded flatbed truck that has gone off the road and is dangling precariously over a steep embankment. The crew must work quickly to secure the truck and its cargo before attempting to pull it back up on the road. It's a tense situation that requires careful strategizing and precise execution.

Meanwhile, Jamie Davis and his team are dealing with a tricky job of their own. They've been called to a semi-truck that has jackknifed, blocking both lanes of the highway. With traffic at a standstill and snow continuing to fall, the pressure is on to clear the road and get things moving again. But as they begin to winch the truck back onto the road, they encounter some unexpected obstacles that threaten to derail the entire operation.

As the day wears on, the holiday spirit starts to take hold among the crew. They exchange small gifts and jokes while they work, taking a moment to appreciate the camaraderie and friendship that has developed among them. But there's still work to be done, and they soon find themselves dealing with yet another difficult job - this time involving a bus that has spun out and is blocking traffic. The team must navigate the slick conditions and heavy traffic to get the bus back on the road.

Despite the challenges they face, the crew of Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue always manages to keep their cool and work together to get the job done. And as the episode draws to a close, viewers are left with a sense of awe and respect for the men and women who brave the elements and put their lives on the line to keep the roads safe for the rest of us. Whether it's Christmas or any other day, these heroes are always ready to face whatever challenges come their way on the highway thru hell.
