Watch: A nimble Florida trooper barely gets out of the way in dramatic hit and run

2021-10-08 00:00:00

A Florida trooper in West Palm Beach stops to help an unidentified driver who is stalled on what looks like a highway median, when a screeching, out-of-control pick-up truck barrels onto the scene. The speeding truck smashes into the driver's car, leaving just seconds for the trooper to get out of the way. The video is dramatic, but by sheer luck – and amazingly quick reflexes displayed by the trooper – he survives unscathed, while the driver he was helping received only minor injuries. Not on camera, the pick-up truck then flees the scene, according News4Jax.
