Emmerdale: Moment Eric Pollard crashes lorry
Emmerdale fans are worried for Eric Pollard (played by Chris Chittell) after his health seemed to deteriorate dramatically on Monday (November 11) during a confrontation with Caleb Miligan (William Ash).
In the latest episode, Eric was infuriated as Caleb's new haulage company led to increased local traffic due to the businessman's new depot. When Eric confronted Caleb, he was dismissed, which left him seething.
In protest, Eric climbed into one of Caleb's lorries and began experiencing hand tremors due to stress. Caleb attempted to appease him with money before Eric lost control and unintentionally reversed the vehicle into a delivery.
Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) tried to assist a shaken Eric who was struggling to regain composure. "I'm shaking with laughter", Eric angrily tells Will as he tries to help him out of the driver's cab.
Later in the episode, Eric is visibly still suffering from tremors and in shock when Caleb confronts him at the shop. Caleb warns Eric to stay away from his business, issuing a stern warning, reports Leeds Live.
