Emmerdale warns of possible death in new accident story

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale has confirmed that another major accident will rock the village.

The life of one resident will hang in the balance this spring, marking the beginning of a big storyline for two families.

Show producer Laura Shaw (pictured below) announced the news to Digital Spy and other media at an Emmerdale press event this week, although the identities of those involved are being kept secret for now.

Shaw explained: "We're going to see an accident happen that's going to affect two big family groups.

"It's going to connect those two family groups together, and we're going to see somebody in very serious medical jeopardy."

She continued: "Whether they live or die, we will have to see.

"What I can tell you is that the ripples and repercussions from that accident will be very long-lasting and life-changing for a number of our villagers."

Emmerdale has already aired one tragic accident this year, as Heath Hope was killed off in a dramatic New Year car crash plot.

That storyline saw the Hope and King families take centre stage following the eventual revelation that Nicola and Jimmy's daughter Angelica was driving at the time of the crash.

Angelica recently took a break from screens, as she was sentenced to eight months in a Secure Children's Home.

With the new accident plot likely to focus on different families, Emmerdale fans will have to stay tuned for more details on who's involved and who will be in danger.

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
