A video has been released showing an incredible moment when an Illinois state trooper was nearly run over by two cars while responding to an emergency on a highway outside Chicago.
The footage was shot by a dashboard camera on a police vehicle, and has caused a huge response on social media.
The video shows an officer walking to the side of a damaged vehicle and another vehicle crashed into the damaged vehicle, which was thrown at the police officer.
Within seconds, the officer quickly moves away from the road mess and avoids the collision. A car driving at another highway passes through another lane, grazing past a police officer.
The video went viral on Reddit, with many users praising the police officers for their fortunes.
Someone commented, “I don’t know if this police officer is a gambling fan, but I’d buy the lottery if this happened.”
“These drivers should be fined strictly,” some said.
“My license suspended, my vehicle confiscated, and huge fines. I’m tired of the way I drive in this country, whether I’m drunk or not.”
