Ep 3. Facing Fears

In season 1 episode 3 of IRT Deadliest Roads titled "Facing Fears," the truckers face their toughest challenge yet as they drive through the treacherous roads of the Himalayas. The episode begins with Lisa Kelly and Rick Yemm navigating the narrow streets of the city to pick up their cargo in order to cross high mountain passes. The steep inclines and sharp turns put their driving skills to the test as they avoid hitting pedestrians and other vehicles.

As they leave the city, the truckers face the daunting task of crossing a narrow, icy bridge over a deep ravine. The slightest mistake could lead to disaster, but they push ahead, determined to complete their mission. With Lisa behind the wheel, the truck slowly inches forward, teetering dangerously close to the edge.

Eventually, they reach their destination and begin the long climb up the mountain pass. The truckers must face hairpin turns, sheer drops, and icy roads as they make their way up the treacherous mountain. Along the way, they encounter other truckers who have crashed or gotten stuck on the icy roads.

As they reach higher altitudes, the air becomes thinner, and the truckers must use oxygen tanks to avoid altitude sickness. The harsh conditions take a toll on both the drivers and their trucks, revealing the true dangers of the Himalayan roads.

In the end, the truckers complete their mission, but not without facing some of their biggest fears and overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. The episode ends with the truckers continuing their journey, braving some of the most dangerous roads in the world.
