A space opened up on the left. DC Patel slammed on the brakes and cranked the steering wheel, aiming for the gap. The back end of the truck slid outwards into the path of the oncoming bus. With a smash, the front of the bus clipped the rear of the truck, shoving it aside. Arun was jolted again, but this time his footing was sound.

The ambulance was now only four cars in front, still picking its way through the traffic.

Arun clambered up on to the flatbed of the truck. Four nylon tethers stretched from the gantry of the crane down to grabs round each wheel, holding the car in place.

Gripping a strap for balance, Arun tugged at the nearest tyre grab, an A-shaped piece of metal with steel shafts jutting backwards, but it would not move; there was no slack in the tether.

He fished out Sam’s pocket knife, opened the blade with his teeth and began to saw at the strap. At first it was hard going – the sharp blade seemed to have no effect as he furiously worked it back and forth – but once the blade finally bit, the tension in the strap pulled at the two sides of the cut and it became easier.

When he cut the final strands, the wheel grab clunked to the metal deck while the strap whipped upwards to flap in the breeze. Arun slid the grab aside, took hold of the door handle for support and moved over to free up the next wheel.
