Snimka kamere iz policijskog automobila koja ledi krv u žilama prikazuje rutinsku policijsku kontrolu zaustavljenog automobila na cesti, međutim s druge strane brze ceste velikom brzinom pristiže crni BMW Serije 3.
Na snimci se vidi da automobil vozi velikom brzinom, gubi kontrolu u zavoju te preko travnatog područja koje dijeli prometne trake u suprotnim smjerovima, zabija se u zaustavljeni, također crni BMW Serije 7 kojeg je zaustavio policajac.
Što se potom dogodilo i kako je prošao policajac u tom sudaru teško je opisati riječima pa pogledajte video. U svakom slučaju, na dan događaja, policajac bi ubuduće mogao slaviti dan kad je ponovo rođen, a presudila je njegova brza reakcija i činjenica da je čuo i vidio da se automobil približava velikom brzinom i da je sudar neminovan. Da je reagirao samo sekundu kasnije vjerojatno bi puno ozbiljnije stradao u ovoj nevjerojatnoj prometnoj nesreći.
On May 1 around 11:38 a.m., a patrol officer was on a routine traffic stop with a gray 2012 BMW 750 Series on southbound Fairfax County Parkway prior to Braddock Rd. The 17-year-old driver of a black 2018 BMW M3 was traveling northbound on Fairfax County Parkway at a high rate of speed and lost control. The BMW spun around, crossed the median, striking the community member’s vehicle and then the officer’s vehicle. The officer was struck and nearly killed. The adult driver in the BMW 750 Series on the traffic stop was taken to the hospital with minor injuries not considered to be life-threatening and has since been released from the hospital. The officer sustained minor injuries. The juvenile driver of the BMW M3 and the two passengers sustained minor injuries. The juvenile was charged with reckless driving. We are relieved this crash did not result in a tragedy. This is an important reminder that life can change in an instant. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive safely and arrive safely. Parents and guardians should consider using this video as an opportunity to have a conversation with their teen drivers about how their driving behavior can affect the lives of others. We are committed to traffic safety and will continue to enforce traffic laws and educate drivers in an attempt to curb the senseless loss of life that occurs during preventable fatal crashes.

Istraga policije grada Fairfaxa (Sjeverna Virginia, SAD) je pokazala kao je za volanom sjedio 17-godišnjak koji je vozio brze od 190 km/h kad je izgubio kontrolu pri čemu se njegov BMW inercijom počeo kretati pravocrtno sve do udara. Policajcu je u sudara stradala desna noga no uspio se osoviti na obje nakon pada na tlo i pozvati pomoć, javlja NBC.
