An Adams County sheriff's deputy in Colorado used his patrol vehicle to stop a speeding wrong-way driver last week, “bravely” putting himself in harms way for the safety of other drivers, authorities said.
While deputies were able to stop traffic ahead of the speeding vehicle in the hopes of avoiding a collision, the wrong-way driver continued barreling toward them.
The impact of the collision sent the two vehicles skidding over 140 feet and into the front of a stopped semi-truck. "Thankfully neither the deputy, the driver, nor anyone else on the interstate suffered any major injuries," the sheriff’s office said, adding that medics treated the deputy and the wrong-way driver as a precaution.
