OMG…….😳HE’S SO BLESSED TO HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM THAT……..WOW
Lucky* is the word, you know what blessed means?
@Milwaukee Brewers blessed
He got slammed, still managed to walk it off, and even prioritized his concerns to the driver instead of himself. What a crazy situation to be in, Im glad the cop made sure everyone got help.
@Alexander Rose The officer didn’t force the driver to stay there. They had a split second to start their car, put it in drive, and get out of the way. Not a chance they were clearing that car
@Milwaukee Brewers – You must be having a dream of another video where the officer wasn’t hit. If you rewatch this one – if you did at all – it clearly shows this officer being hit by the car. Da put your glasses on. LMAO
Dude literally went towards the crash when he just had to turn around and hop the barrier 😂
He wasn’t hit directly, his right arm landed on the hood as the front right end of the car had maneuvered in front of him while he was running. As he landed on the hood, the bottom of the bumper swiped the side of his leg, the momentum then did the rest. The officer was extremely lucky. A direct hit and he wouldn’t be standing. Not to under mind the officer (great work responding to the occupant of the parked vehicle), but please remember to go the opposite direction of a crashing vehicle (years of side pain taught me that lesson the hard way).
@TOY MAKERZ he was hit not slammed… 2 different words.
One Tough Officer 💪
Bro a real one he first responded was to the injured not himself even tho he took a mean hit ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
If you play it back in slowmo, the car didn’t hit him directly. He landed on it. That said, 💯 glad he took care of the driver first
That officer had a angel watching over him.
Definitely! 😇🙏😇
Don’t be ridiculous it’s called luck
Thats what I said! I always pray for our service men and women and the ones that travel
Amen
That was nothing but the Grace of God.
@Fash1onWeak bro doesn’t know if God truly exist
@mario perez dang got me with that one 💀
It doesn’t seem God was present . The officer deserves the credit
@Eva Silva Layton he’s always present, you don’t have permission from GOD to know it! And he doesn’t need your permission to do anything else! He works through people as well, so dies the devil
@Eva Silva Layton Ask the officer if GOD was present “for him” 😉 I bet you hear differently! 😉 💖🙏
Damn hope he’s ok
Good thing he saw that car coming at him ahead of time meaning a difference of life & his own funeral.
That is one lucky cop!
God is good
You are insane, if he’s that good why let it happen
This happened on the Fairfax County Parkway in Fairfax ,VA. The driver of the M3 BMW was 17 years old and was doing an estimated 120 mph.
It looked like he was trying to drift and lost it. I’m sure it shows it before the part of the clip we can see.
Damn!!
That’s why you are not allowed to drive in Europe till the age of 18- evidence based practice 😂
@rb70383 he probably saw the cop after he started the drift and let off the gas mid-drift… smh
That is one of the craziest dash cam vids I’ve ever seen. How he kept calm and prioritized the injured is amazing. This man is a saint!
It’s almost like they have training 🤔
Dude literally went towards the crash when he just had to turn around and hop the barrier 😂
@GH0STR3D RRR Exactly
Take your medication 💊
WOW‼️ God was on his side when it isn’t your time it isn’t your time‼️💯
That police officer reacted really quickly. Glad no one was seriously injured.
Wow! How fortunate was this man to barely escape death.
Now, this boy is to be respected.
Make you a man.
That bullet proof vest 🦺 saved his ribs from breaking mad respect to him for worrying about civilians before himself it wasn’t your time brother God has plans for you ❤🙏😇
He got lucky. Someone up above sure looking out for this officer.
Holy cow. Thank goodness he found the one spot with some room. Glad he is ok
He’s doing his job…correctly.
Wow he walked that shock off quick then got to the driver. Forget he is a cop, hell of a human being here
