Hollyoaks is currently dealing with the fallout from a crash that involved Tom Cunningham, Alfie Nightingale, Prince McQueen, Yasmine Maalik, Lily Drinkwell, Cleo McQueen and Joel Dexter.

Viewers saw Joel and Cleo's bike narrowly miss colliding with the teens' car, but both vehicles ended up crashing, and now Hollyoaks has uploaded a behind the scenes video showing us how they did it.

In this clip, we learn that the log that goes through the car was powered by hydraulics and it's pretty impressive to see.

We also learn that stunt doubles were used to do the potentially dangerous stuff, much to the dismay of Cleo McQueen actress Nadine Mulkerrin. No trampolining for you, Nadine!

It looks like most of the characters are okay following the crash, but unfortunately for Cleo, she wasn't discovered by the emergency services right away.

Thanks to Joel, she was found later and placed into an ambulance, but it might be too late, as she started to flatline on the way to hospital, leaving Joel to make an emotional prayer promising God that he'd go back to the church if she pulled through.
