A police officer's close call against an oncoming car on an icy road has been caught on camera. The video, posted on Facebook by Hurst Police Department in Texas, US, is being used to caution commuters about frozen and slippery roads.
"An example of why we highly discourage traveling in the current weather conditions. The roads are extremely dangerous. If you must travel, take caution and be safe," says the post, shared on January 1, along with the video. It shows a police officer almost being hit by an oncoming car that slipped and lost control on an icy road.
The video shows the police officer walking away from a halted car. Seconds later he is seen walking faster as if trying to get away from something. Turns out it was a car that had lost control due to the icy road.
"It was pretty close, I'd say a couple feet. From my hand to the tire, less than that," Officer Jonathan Cramer told WFAA.com.
"Oh my goodness, thank God the officer is OK. I was thinking of going to the store but thank you for warning us with this video," says one Facebook user on the video. "Wow! That was so very close! Thank God he's OK," says another.
