Watch: Video Catches Officer's Escape Moments Before Getting Crushed by SUV

No matter the time of year, it’s important to keep your eyes on the road and remain aware of any potential hazards or stopped vehicles.

Too many times, distracted or too-interested drivers passing the site of a crash have caused further death or injury to the people involved.

When a car is speeding toward you, there’s little you can do to avoid the inevitable, but you can certainly try to scramble — and sometimes pure instinct kicks in.

In a video recently released by the Wyoming Highway Patrol, a state trooper helping with a crash was nearly mowed down by an out-of-control SUV that barreled past.

The conditions were already dicey, being windy and cold. As the trooper headed toward his car, he checked over his shoulder.

In the distance, a semi-truck approached in the farthest lane. When the trooper approached his vehicle, he suddenly darted toward the embankment, but then slipped and threw himself back toward the road.

A white SUV blew past, driving onto the snow-covered grass and sending up a plume of snow and debris, which hit the trooper and his vehicle.

The vehicle with the dash camera started backing up as soon as the driver saw the oncoming car, but still managed to record the entire heart-stopping scene.

Thankfully no one was reported injured, and the oncoming car managed to pull off the road in time to avoid the parked 🚓Police
