Intro Song:
Danger Snow by Dan Henig
I can already imagine the dudes conversation with his insurance: “you hit a what?!?!”
Not only that. A police suv. $$$$$$$$$$
Yeah that's DEFINITELY gonna do a lot more than make their insurance cost skyrocket
On top of the fact that the police car (fine SUV) then hit the car in front of it (the car that the cop was helping)........
I'd be surprised if his insurance will keep him and if so if he can even get insurance after this incident.......
How is a person THIS incompetent, able to even operate a motor vehicle? He can't see stopped vehicles, DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF HIM???????? WTF??
Well over a $100,000 collision
The cop is trying to help others, even the people that ran into him. Low-key, sincere: he’s the type of cop we all respect.
Why would he not help an old guy who accidentally caused a crash? Literally bare minimum lol
@@jsmith-u5i nah he would have got fired if he didn’t help with his cam lol. What else would he do shoot them for hitting him ?
@@jsmith-u5i that is literally the stupidest shit ever, so basically you saying they are puppets to enforce the pigs laws? lmao
If you listen to his accent he’s definitely one of those super kind midwestern guys lol
@@theHITkid-mz4ox Yes, but no. With the fact he was injured as well (and had no idea how badly) then he would not have been faulted really for sitting tight for back up to arrive. However, he took charge of the entire scene and started collected contact info even though he knows he won't be working the wreck. He wanted to make sure all of that information was collected to help whoever was working the wreck.
I love how he lift the curtain airbag and says “police department” 😂
lol 😂
That made me laugh out loud 😂
I wonder if we’re going to hell for this 😂😂🤦🏽♀️
Throw in a polite triple knock on the window first and he's mid-westerner certified.
@@swilson5346 you are I hope and I hope you go to the worst place in hell
The witness who stopped to help seems like such a sweet man
You clearly have never met a tow truck driver lmfao. I assure you he was just fishing for work.
@@bender0428 They meant the Civic driver
I know what a card 😂@@ATLAS_ENTERTAINMENT
Now that’s a great cop. His genuine concern is for the 2 other people first. That’s a great example of public service and an excellent attitude. He should be promoted…
Rare to see. He won't last, or will forever to be forced to fly under the radar. Now the city can't even sue and/or prosecute the guy who crashed in to them. That's not good business.
@@EoCx1 uhhh…. What?
@@EoCx1 They most certainly will prosecute, that wrecked intercepter will not be cheap to repair or replace
@@EoCx1 You just hate seeing proof that cops are generally good people, eh?
I thought the same. Getting rear ended and he's not upset in the slightest; just keeps doing his job and keeps a cool head. This officer gives the badge a good look
I commend this officer for his calm demeanor and his professionalism. Good job!
what else is he going to do? if you act any differently you are not normal and should probably be locked in a crazy house
@@William47345 I dunno man, seems pretty normal to be pissed after someone runs into your car
@@William47345 let me rear end you going 60+ mph. you gonna bake me a cake as a thank you?
@@aquilafasciata5781 Yes its normal to be angry, but its not normal to act out that anger. Its normal to just get the info you need, call the police and then move on as long as no one is injured. Im sure the officer and the women were really pissed, but they are normal so they acted like adult, the cop less so becase its a work car, he could even get workers comp and sit home getting paid to do nothing. The women now I see why she could be very pissed.
@@2starweakfoot no, I will probably just get your insurance info, call the police. If I have any damages your insurance cant / wont pay for then id just sue you for that, same for any hospital bills or treatment needed. The guy was a boomer so he probably has good insurance.
This is why i truly believe that anyone 70 years and older should be required to take a road test to keep their license
@@jeffreydezwit9875 no the entire test at that age reaction time slows down amongst other things you become a danger to yourself and everyone around you
@@h27764 I’ve been saying this for years!!! after a certain age, driving becomes dangerous for some people. People forget cars are heavy machinery. After a certain age they should be required to take driving tests every 3 years at least.
@@h27764 yeah same here in germany. We have a lot of old people who just drive like they want because they are too old to pay attention to everything. And a lot of them are driving big cars. Our automobile lobby is so big, they prevent laws on testing old people because they are paying customers...
I’m doing a presentation on that for school actually which is quite a coincidence that I’m watching this
ua-cam.com/video/HUCOj5b0g1E/v-deo.html ⭐️⭐️
I feel so sorry for the woman… she was already having a bad day, running out of gas and saying she wouldn’t be able to afford a tow… and in a matter of seconds, things got so much worse.
I totally know how that feels, I’ve have some tough times I just had a hard time climbing out of. She seemed so dismayed. This officer stayed so calm and was so kind. That’s not always the case.
We love to see it ❤
Atleast the cop was there otherwise it would have been her car that got hit at 70. So really she’s having an amazing day after dodging that bullet.
@@kevcom000 100%!! His car could definitely take the beating more than hers could for sure. If it hadn’t softened the blow, I can just imagine the poor thing lying in bed that night (hopefully not a hospital bed) staring up at the cosmos wondering, “Why me??”
I live in a town with a LOT of one way streets and I have had SOOO many drivers going the wrong way down one ways coming straight towards me… and they just continue on. Honking does nothing, flashing brights at them does nothing… the speed limit stays between 25-35 on those streets and people fly at 50… texting… it just amazes me that people don’t take driving seriously.
Like, you’re operating a heavy piece of machinery. One small wrong move and lives can end. Pay attention!
@kevcom000 This exactly. Her car is not even written off! The cruiser, on the other hand...
At least if she had anything else wrong with the car before that, should get compensated for it... hopefully.
How does some just run out of fuel like that? The fuel guage is always in your face
That man who stopped for the officer and asked if he was okay and needed any help was a true man. What a nice human being.
He was the guy the cop pulled over to begin with, lmao
i loveee how the lady ems asked if the lovely lady got hit lol
@@katdean8497 No the cop pulled over to help the lady who had run out of gas. The old guy was a bystander
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Hail Satan. 666.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ shut up
That was one of the nicest cops I’ve ever seen. He starts by helping the stranded driver get her car in working order/gas and after he’s hit from behind, with injuries I might add, still doing his job, calling in for fire, rescue, etc. and concentrating on the others involved in the crash. I’m really glad to know he’s okay.
He’s clearly Canadian lol
@@eyesacthehoodrat Hes a wonderful human being.
@@eyesacthehoodrat Wisconsin accent
i mean whats he supposed to do it’s his job 😂
@@treysniper We all know, just because it's his job, doesn't mean he has to do it, or do it pleasantly.
Astonishing how many people just don’t pay attention to what’s in front of them.
Face watching cell phone, not traffic?
The gentlemen was an older fellow. He probably shouldn't be driving anymore, but it can be a hard thing to give up. It's one of the last things you have that gives you freedom and indepenced. My mother probably shouldn't be driving anymore, but my asshole stepfather has the final say in that matter and lets her roam around town freely.
Like 5 years ago there was a rash of cops getting smacked on the highway in MA. I used to live there and they even put out a PSA to pay attention (like that will fix it, haha)... but I believe 7 serious rear enders happened, I believe 2 state troopers died within a year or two... I used to drive past both the roadside memorials on my commute.
Very inattentive, rushed driving area.
As someone who had an accidental crash it can unfortunately happen pretty quick. I don't text and drive. It can simply take about 2 seconds of not looking and awful timing.
@@SkylineTTurbo old people should be forced to uber
I drove by this incident probably just a couple minutes before the crash. Great to hear everyone was okay. Definitely makes me proud to have these type of emergency responders in the city I live in! The most professional and calmest officer I have ever seen!
Oh yeah, I notice how in most of these videos most of the officers are from WI. Truly respectable and kind people.
@@blckbun that’s the Midwest charm for you! Lol
@@ABCRapster definitely! Haha here in Northern Virginia, I can’t say the same :(
@@ABCRapster honestly tho!!!
Yea but everyone else is high and drunk
This man is so fluid at speaking and thinking. You can hear the clarity in his head. Even under stress and in shock.
If that little fender bender puts any police officers in stree or shock they have no business being a police officer
@@givemefreespeechyoutubehitlers that’s not a fender bender that’s a full on collision. That’s sent the cruiser forward and fender bendered that poor lady. Like do you eat nails without milk or have you never been in an accident?
But I agree with the 2nd if you can’t compose yourself and think clearly under stress you shouldn’t go into a career that often puts you in stressful situations
@@givemefreespeechyoutubehitlers I got rear ended by car going 35 and it fucked my back up
@@masonparr8950 I had a very similar experience. My back was messed up for a LONG time. I hope you've fully recovered by now.
This is what he is trained and paid to do shouldn’t be surprising
The Fire Department never gets enough recognition either. Stand up guys doing amazing work.
I almost watched something just like this happen a month ago f150 had to slam on the brakes last second then just sat there behind the cop
@@2511jeremy Yeah I’ve seen it a lot. I live 2 miles outside Philly and people just don’t pay attention. Not sure where you live but the east coast corridor I95 area from like Delaware to NY, NJ and Pennsylvania have the worst drivers in the country. I drive a mustang and I’m a car guy, but against popular belief of mustang owners I don’t drive on the sidewalk and I try not to drive like a dick nonstop
@@2vcrew782 yeah it’s shitty around here (i’m just outside philly too)
Absolutely agree!
@@2vcrew782 I think the popular and completely justified belief is that kids with Mustangs or similar vehicles drive that way. It seems the older folks get it.
So impressed with this officer's temperament. Remains extremely calm and rational. Glad we have people like this in law enforcement.
im glad to see comments like yours. have a great day
Lol yeah you kinda changed my initial sentiment for the inattentive driver with this comment. You’re right , kudos to Mr Officer for dealing with it in that manner
That girl is a bum, no gas or gas money ? But driving ? Cell phone clothes and a weave, but no gas money ?? I guess you’d expect that from someone like that. When the cop got hit she jumped out trying to figure out a self entitled injury to cry to the government to take care of her
@@detroitbloodrunsinme8194 lol you must have everything figured out in life! she was getting out to check on the man who hit the cops car . . . Which is why she kept asking if he was alright . . . And she said she had someone bringing gas , You’re weird for attacking someone who did nothing wrong with such conviction.
@@detroitbloodrunsinme8194 then you have a police interaction that’s actually great posted but shun this situation of an officer helping a citizen . . . You’re weird
This man is a model example of a police officer. He maintained professionalism and a calmnes after being hit. He didnt let his emotions get the best of him. Even though he was injured, he still made sure everybody else was okay before he even got looked at.
I agree. Great cop, great human.
This is the kind of officer you want in your city. What a good guy

ive found theres lots of them in every dept but in every dept theres at least one bad apple.
This was a 100% based statement
I prefer police officers who turn their lights on to alert drivers of impending danger.
@@skankhunt3624 he did have his rear red flashers on! Check out the witness statement and look at the footage
That poor girl, from a bad day to a worse one. I hope she's ok.
hope that numbskull fills her gas tank next time prevent alllllllllll this
I wonder if she recognizes that if the cop wasn’t there it would’ve been a lot worse for her. She didn’t seem apologetic or even grateful at all. She was talking rude too smh. Hopefully she thanked him off camera
So was so rude, but I still hope she ok
Apparently she had two kilos in her car and texted her sugar daddy to help get out of the initial police interaction. Old man pulled a Walter White. Right on
@@thatoneguyRyan1 Nice dogwhistle, Ryan
To everyone commenting about the "stupidity" of running out of gas: I remember a time in my life when I was literally scrounging for pocket change, counting pennies, and making sure every drop of gas came out of the nozzle just to make it to work. The stress of being broke in general, having your car's fuel gauge permanently in the red, wondering if the $4.87 you put in the morning was good enough to get you home... Tell me you haven't had a hard life without telling me you haven't had a hard life.
it isnt just that she ran out of gas. It is where she chose to stop after she ran out of gas. Your car doesnt just magically turn off when your out of gas. There are signs that it is happening within a mile of your car shutting down. Even if she was on the highway she should have coasted to the other side of the overpass at the bear minimum. Stopping where she did was monumentally stupid.
@@cylascrannell5917 Everybody makes mistakes and/ or makes bad judgement calls in their life. Even you made an embarrassing error in your own comment while trying to insult the intelligence of others. “Bear” is an animal. “Bare” is the correct bear/bare for your “bare minimum” comment. So, maybe just try to remember that no human is perfect before calling others names and insulting them. You can disagree with something someone has done and still be respectful about it. This whole situation was a bummer for all involved but it happened and thankfully nobody was seriously injured.
@@cylascrannell5917 Maybe on some newer vehicles, but I can 100% guarantee you that yes, a car will go from being completely functional to losing all power with no warning. When that happens, the car is just coasting and you lose power steering, so in fact trying to steer a cross multiple lanes of traffic would be the colossally stupid thing to do.
@@cylascrannell5917 untrue, sometimes you are on an incline and your car shows no signs of running out of gas and then you level out and your car sputters but its too late and your car dies very fast. this happened to me, the gas light came on a couple minutes before my car ended up dying.
Dude ….. the struggle ……..
God the sound he made when he got hit. Even if he's not seriously injured his neck sure is gonna feel it tomorrow.
I was more amazed by the sounds he didn't make. Some people see a fender bender in the distance and start non stop shrieking. This guy is injured and doesn't even get excited.
I feel bad for this officer he's so nice. He was just trying to help this lady.
Imagine if he wasn't there and that driver hit her instead. Her car wouldn't have absorbed the impact as well as that cruiser.
@@Demolishionist Oh I know I don't even want to imagine the seriousness in what more could've happen.
Where was she not cooperative? Or appreciative of the officer helping?
@@errolm8313 Your reading to much into it. I didn't say she was not appreciative. Come on the officer got hurt.
@@errolm8313 1:25 she just slams the door in his face. She also apologized like 12 times to her friend before hanging up, like the officer is interrupting or something, then she just says “what??” all rude after hanging up. All of 1:19 - 1:30 just shows how standoffish she’s being
Props to the Firemen who reminded the officer to be careful reaching in his car because the airbags could still deploy. I didn't even think of that happening.
I think it’s also better to not move people after getting into big crashes like these. I think moving their neck could even cause more injury to them. It’s better for paramedics to take care of them after
That never happens
@@icedink87 thanks firefighter notsure
@@icedink87 that always happens
@@icedink87 are you sure about that?
You can tell how much this officer truly cares about others. Even in pain he was prioritizing everyone else over himself. So selfless! Hope everyone has a quick recovery!
I know that’s what it looks like but he’s white so I’m sure he was about to plant drugs on someone.
@@Andrew-Ryan Lmao nice bait. Nobody's falling for your joke
@@Andrew-Ryan you're seriously sick in the head my g. Stop trying to discredit the ones who genuinely do good to others. It's honestly some wickedly twisted shit
@@Andrew-Ryan What a shit comment man.. wtf,,, HAVE A NICE DAY!
@@oliverwatts4705 lol oh?
I love how the officers response to “how can I help” is making sure the case he was stopped for initially was resolved. Not only that, but it was resolved by people helping people because we’re people.
Yeah. Stuff like that really restores my faith in humanity.
Judging by the groaning sounds when he got hit, that cop is probably going to be cramping up like crazy when he gets over the adrenaline rush.
It’s a shame the courts seem to think if you move around fine after the accident, you must not have hurt yourself. The fact is men in combat often overlook their own wounds and have to be repeatedly quizzed about pain before they realize they need medivac.
yeah thats crazy to think how many times they say they are fine before they actually need help.
Oh yes. I got T Boned by someone who ran a stop sign (to be fair it was kind of hidden and I don’t blame them). I was knocked unconscious for a few seconds and my neck hurt when I came to. I thought other than that I was okay. Next day I could not walk. Could not move an inch in bed. The seatbelt bruised my entire torso. Had to use a walker for weeks. Seatbelt saved my life though as well as turning my wheel at the last min. They hit the drivers side back door and not mine. Would’ve been worse had they hit my door.
I got knocked of my bicycle a few years ago by a panel van. tore up the back and side of my right arm, had a reasonable gash on my head and chipped my femur (didnt break my leg completely but left a hairline fracture).
I remember hitting the ground and then "waking up" about a mile further up the road as someone spotted me pushing my busted up bike (on autopilot after blacking out) the rest of the way home and pulled over to check I was ok. they asked if I needed an ambulance but I refused and asked if they could possibly give me a lift home. the next morning I woke up with a pounding headache, my arm felt like it was broken (it was) and I had a bruise from my kidney, all the way down my side to my right knee and I couldnt move my leg. managed to get to my phone off the dresser and call an ambulance and finally went into the hospital.
I should have waited for at the scene for an ambulance and gone to the hospital but I was stubborn, barely out of my teens and I was running on a head injury (on top of everything else) as well as adrenaline. atleast I can look back on it as a learning experience now, "what not to do" I guess.
I was in a minor one-vehicle crash when I was 16 (I wasn't the one driving; icy road conditions). It wasn't until the next day that the pain from the whiplash set in. Like freezing fire covering my neck and shoulders. The facts about adrenaline and its pain-delaying properties are well-known. For any court to take such an argument seriously is atrocious- even moreso than a lawyer using the argument in the first place.
Don’t see women doing that.
Great officer. That poor woman couldn't handle herself at all, probably broke, which is why she ran out of gas and didn't want a response. The look on her face after she gets hit though. That officer probably saved her life, or serious injury as it was a way bigger vehicle they hit instead of her small car.

Not to mention that reinforced rear-end of the police car really did its job too. Many people don’t know, but if you lift up the rear floor panel on the Ford Interceptors, there is a factory-installed welded triangular tube structure to reinforce the rear end; this is not included on the Ford Explorers
The pain always manifests itself later on. I remember getting hit by a drunk driver in my squad car (he ran the red light). I left the hospital feeling ok. The next morning I woke up and my entire body was stiff. 6 months later I returned to duty.
Thank you for your service, and I hope you have healed up well!
Thank you, much appreciated.
You walked out out of the hospital that day and then took 6 months off…presumably paid? Thank god for unions, right?
Yup!
Similar happened to my dad while he was on duty crossing an intersection and drunk driver t bones him and his car caught on fire and some Good Samaritan dragged him out the car and he survived with minor injuries
Officer ignores his injuries and makes sure everyone is safe. Thank you for your service.
Even in the first 2 minutes of this vid you can tell the cop is genuine and wants to help someone in need.
He asks if she needs a tow, and even after denying it and saying she'll walk, he says he'll keep his car parked behind hers until she returns, just for safety.
Truly a stand up individual

He was the towtruck guy the cop called actually. His jacket says Don's Towing & Service. Crazy coincidence
@@TheVividSparks I'm pretty sure he just happened to be there when it happened, he said so, hence why the officer wanted his information and statement as a witness. Plus....he's on the job, probably got a tow, either the involved vehicle or the police cruiser. The white Malibu looked drive-able.
@@TheVividSparks nah g….he was just driving and took a u turn when he saw the wreck
@@TheVividSparks No. The tow truck driver said he was driving and was right next to the cop when he was hit...but that's a lie. The tow driver was already 8 seconds past the cop when the collision happened. He came back to hopefully get a tow. But it is coincidence that he mentioned "Don's" and other companies for the girl to call. When the cop asked the tower driver to help her with getting gas, it appears the woman refused because the tower probably was trying to charge her to fetch the gas.

"Do you think it's worth going in to get it checked out?".
Fireman:. "You're on the clock...I would.".
Lol...good advice my friend!
Had the exact same thought 😂
The fact that the officer made sure they checked on everyone else first just shows what a great guy he is. I hope he stays safe at his job , they’re putting their lives at risk daily and go through so much it’s not fair. Props to him for being exemplary officer.
That's the protocol
The officer sounded like he was hurt bad when that guy hit that cruiser he was in a lot of pain and still checked on the lady and the gentleman that hit the cruiser
I agree
@@DirtyDoctorDan sadly, lots of protocol, but not everyone follows it - to follow protocol and just plain consideration, after being hit that hard, hitting your head hard enough to cut it and keep going back and checking on guy in car that hit him and the girl cops car slammed into , show's he is compassionate - even asked someone to make sure she got gas as he thought she'd probably be able to drive the car with quick look at damage.

😂😂The Wisconsin accent gets me
My husband is a disabled retired police officer who was hit in his cruiser at a roll over accident 14 years ago. His vehicle was hit by a wanted felon at 80 mph. He's now going on his 7th spine surgery and has been in constant pain since the accident. At the scene he felt sore but within a few hours the doctor diagnosed him with a broken back. These officers risk their lives every day and I wish people had more respect for them. 💙💙

My father is a disabled retired police officer who was hit while getting back into his cruiser. I was barely four at the time, but I remember him being in different hospitals for months at a time.

His car saved her from a looooot of damage! She has a tiny car and it could have crumpled like a piece of paper. I’m glad everyone was pretty much okay.
@Goat how is that?
@Goat just doesn't apply in this situation. His car absolutely blunted the force of impact on her car. As any car would have in that situation.
Cars are supposed to crumple to save you. It's literally called crumple points.
@@stormyalice but now she doesn't have a totaled car so that's good
Tiny lol
Distracted isn't the word for it. HOW do you not see an Officer stopped with lights going and still hit them? I'm glad that everyone is basically alright and thankful for the ones that stopped to offer assistance and check on the Officer. His professionalism is outstanding.
Those lights are bright as the sun as well. You can EASILY see them from 1,500ft
I thought he had to have been drunk or high af…no way he wasn’t right???
I thought maybe he was on the phone because there was one in the passenger footwell, like he threw it in there or it fell in there during impact. Maybe? I could be wrong.
I never been distracted and always stay focus on the road why people like this, glad people are ok because if they were injured or death be consequences for this stupid driver, distraction was for something.
Seems like his lights weren’t on actually
Stellar example of a good officer... level-headed, calm, kind, caring. The firefighters are also excellent, they all communicated so well. If officers/humans in general were all like this, we'd have a lovely world.
Amen!
I’m of the school of thought that it starts with you. Put that energy out into the world and more often than not it will come back multi fold.
Rare indeed. You could tell he's naturally nice though
That’s a bit of an overstatement 😂 I’m sure it makes the community a lot better but not the world..
Bless this older guy for stopping to make sure that the cop and everybody was okay...❤
Seriously this officer is LOVELY. He's so kind to everyone and took the brunt. Bless his heart!

I love that everyone encouraged him to get checked out and that he was ok with that. So often people shame that and praise “toughing it out”. But speaking from someone who had a serious head injury and separate neck injury and didnt get checked out till it was much worse-- just go. You could potentially save yourself from a lifetime of chronic pain
Yes! Adrenaline can mask our injuries very well. It’s how our bodies survive in the circumstance, but you still have to get checked to see what the adrenaline might be hiding. Head injuries are notorious for presenting delayed symptoms. I had a moderate concussion and I didn’t start fainting until 5 hours after I hit my head. Don’t even know how I was able to hold off passing out while I was driving home from the across town. I’m glad I got checked immediately because we just don’t know what could be happening, especially if you’re a little dazed.
Agreed. He sounded like he was in pain, and good on him for shrugging it off to help others. But i also hope he remembers to take care of himself too.
Agreed.
I used to be in the Ambulance Service in Australia, and one of the things I was told duing training was that if you're in a accident with 'only' minor wounds (such as this officer), to call for an ambulance to get checked out. You may have a minor concussion or a laceration that needs to be tendered to. But it also creates a paper trail, which could be important down the line, as if months later you develop neck problem that may have been caused by the accident. Then, at least your insurance company has something to work from.
This is a good cop. He’s taking care of everyone else before he worries about himself. Very glad no one was severely injured.
Yeah totally
@@Simon11354 video says otherwise
@@Simon11354 childish
@@Simon11354 Lmao I want to know what the original comment was.
The officer is in shock and just got a dose a large one of adrenaline. He went thru motions while fire ems and his own tried getting him to relax and sit.
Old man looked confused. Almost like hes having a dementia episode. He shouldn't be behind a wheel.
Insurance company: “YOU HIT WHO, AND WHAT”
🤣🤣
I got rear ended once and initially I was in shock and didn’t feel pain…the pain manifested in the days ahead….even though the cop said he felt ok, I’m pretty sure he’ll feel it the next day
I hope you’re doing better!
Yea i worked EMS for a bit its insane in crashes you can get adrenaline rushes that delete pain til hours even days after
German firefighter here, and yes youre absoloutley right. Most people dont feel any pain in such a situation and the pain from spinal injuries gets back to you a few hours after the accident. Also at the speeds both the driver of the ramming car and the cop most likely suffered a concussion. In crashes where the airbag deploys we always use our spine board just in case. (also the woman after being involved in the accident still worrying about getting gas so she doesnt have to pay for a tow is worrying me. Im just glad we have adequate and mandatory insurance coverage here for such things.) Same for medical care. We would have offered all 3 involved a trip to the hospital and no one has to make a choice based on finances).
This also shows how dangerous ther work is when youre on the road. Accidents on the Autobahn can get rly bad when you have cars speeding with 130km/h+ and you dont have to worry just about the people in the accident itself but also that you dont make the scene bigger by properly securing crash sites.
We had a rly bad accident once where at night in rain a car crashed into the middle fence the driver was dead as we arrived. Doesnt matter for us we work just as if the person was still alive until we get the official declaration from the Doctor whch wasnt on scene yet. And a few minutes in as 2 of our guys were gutting up the crashed car to get the man out. A policemen spotted a lonely guy on the opposite side of the 6 lane road. It later turned out that that man was the passenger which after the accident climbed out of the car and went over 3 lanes of 130kmh+ traffic and stood there the entire time. When people are in shock they tend to walk away from the scene. They become a problem when they try to go back and get run over. by miracle the guy wasnt badly injured just a frew bruises and a concussion. I will never forget that. Im just glad i did not look at the drivers face or i couldnt forget that one either.
I got tboned by a drunk driver and didn’t feel a thing, felt like I was floating for like 2 hours after
Yea, I remember when get slipped with motorcycle, feeling nothing and even went to date same evening, until in few hours start feeling very dizzy, so went home to bad. Next morning was like a hell - bruises all over body and unimaginable pain
All I can say is way to go to everybody. And people from Wisconsin seem to be incredibly caring. This was an awful video to see but a prime example of people doing what is right.
As a Wisconsinite we definitely are very caring, its really kinda a mid-west thing, you won't find the same kind of hospitality pretty much anywhere else in the US except maybe Alaskans. Don't piss us off tho, we own just as many guns as Texans lmfao
@@evangalinsky2499Might be a good state idk but i can guarantee you have nowhere near as many guns as texas
it is estimated that at least 29 million guns are owned in Texas.
That is slightly higher then the population of texas
@@thatdamncrow9197 I obviously didn't mean exact number of guns, no need to take it seriously dude. I just meant that Wisconsin is one of the top states when it comes to amount of firearms per household/person.

@@evangalinsky2499 Here I thought Montana was one of the most welcoming states? I mean I've never been there personally, just something I heard before.
That poor officer seemed a little dazed, possibly concussed. Amazing he was still able to handle the scene as well as he did in that state.
This cop is the guy you want to show up in an emergency
Maybe not this cop, he showed up to an emergency and ended up with three crashed cars!
(Kidding. He did a great job.)
Props to the guy who saw the accident happen and stopped to make sure everyone was ok!! Most people go on their merry way, taking a video to post on social media instead of trying to HELP!!
This police officer is a class act and a hero for caring so much about others while he’s obviously been injured himself. ❤️
Only so many people can actually assist in this scenario. Everyone else is in the way.
@@LCKnecht True, but most people don’t care enough to try to help.
It can be very dangerous pulling into the scene of an accident to help. The guy that stopped had a pull over area that was clear of traffic.
The fact that this officer never once allowed himself to become angry or distressed after being hit, and instead immediately resumed being cordial and professional with everyone involved is a good indication that he is a man of a particularly rare level of character. Very few cops, let alone men, possess the ability to stay focused on the task and even maintain a professional and polite demeanor during such stressful events.
very well articulated. I said the same, but your words are better.

@P S but you did agree with all their words in the comment
When he lifted the airbag and said "Police Department! 😃" in his midwestern accent 😂 he was so friendly it was almost painful.
Props to the cop who walked around checking on people while he had a bleeding head wound, and props to the firefighters following him around like "sir I'm not kidding you really should see a doctor"
She seemed mad at first the officer stopped. Thank God he did or else she would have taken the hit instead of the office. He did his job. That's what it's about. Or should be. Serving and protecting.
I think she was stressed and somewhat panicking, some people get overwhelmed very easily. First out of gas, then an officer interaction (not bad in itself but it’s an interaction you were prepared for), and then an accident. She’s got a very rough day, as do all of them now.
She doesn't care.
@@Procxlite atleast she may get an insurance payout 😂🤷🏽♂️
@@prestongarvey2961 true! BUT, unfortunately those things take FOREVER! My brother has been in an accident involving his personal vehicle AND work vehicle and the other person was CLEARLY at fault (Person running a red light and getting slammed into from behind.) Even with the overwhelming evidence insurance was a hassle and it took months to see any sort of money. I know people who've said it took a better part of a year to get paid and sometimes the pay wasn't enough. Unless my car gets absolutely totaled , I'm not at fault and the other person confesses to everything, I never want to get in an accident.
EXACTLY - she acted frustrated. Cop was figuring out the best way to help her, Kinda left her alone but said he’d stay behind her till help arrived SPECIFICALLY to protect her from an incident like this. That SUV would have totally crushed the Malibu, and even hitting the explorer cruiser seemed to really knock that cop around pretty good. She’d really be hurting. 😕
I feel awful for the young lady. Running out of gas, had to think about whether the tow would be affordable for her, and ended up having the officer's vehicle pushed into hers by another driver. But props to the young lady and the officer for being incredibly cordial and concerned for the well-being of others. I'm just really glad everyone was okay. Listen, we can be upset at any one of these people, and it's understandable, but we all make mistakes. Remember, we're operating thousands of pounds of machines at high speeds, yall. Always give that undivided attention to the road! Safe travels, everyone!
She was not concerned for him what so ever. She never asked if he was okay she was pretty rude tbh

@@ren574 but she didn’t even ask if the officer was okay
Pretty disgusting that the guy who smashed into the back of them didn't even ask if they were okay, instead it was the officer asking HIM if he was okay.
I guess that he was in shock
I was expecting him to be cited for DUI/OWI.
This officer sounds like such a pure soul. Glad everyone is ok.
This is exactly who should be cops… I’ve seen too many cops who would have took her stress as “an attitude” and escalated things. Plus his concern for the person who could have severely injured him.
Glad to see everyone's okay. Imagine if the officer hadn't been there to absorb the impact in that large SUV. I bet there would have been some serious injuries if that woman had gotten hit in her car.
What a great cop! Looking out for others while hurt. I know that's his job, but you can tell he's a very sincere person.
Tow truck driver probably curious why he was called for a car without gas but arrives to find three smashed cars.
That was my first thought till he said that he witnessed it so turned around

@@jonathanstache1634 😂

From what I've seen so far on this channel, the Lacross Police Dept probably has some of the best trained, highly skilled, friendly officers I have ever seen anywhere on the planet! Police departments worldwide can learn from your example! Excellent job, Lacross PD!! Excellent!!
I actually live in the area! I was involved in an accident last year where my car was rear ended and totalled, the police arrived within a couple minutes and made sure everyone was okay (no serious injuries) and really just handled everything so well. Some of the most friendly and professional I've ever seen.

What a sweet cop!! I hope he was okay, and everyone else😢
I got rear ended by a drunk driver going about 50mph while I was sitting at a red light and was driven into the car in front of me. I can attest to the confusion and delayed soreness.
Mine wasn't drunk but I can commiserate. I was out wandering around, helped the car I was pushed into and so on. Next day couldn't move and off work for 6 months and even then I was 1 day on 2 days off to recover for about another 6 months!
Adrenaline is a hell of a drug. Hard to believe that your body makes that with sugar.
Also, that poor woman. She just ran out of gas, trying to take care of things, and she is involved with a vehicle collision because someone wasn't paying attention. That cop is a legend for checking up on the driver and being a good person even though you can tell that impact hurt like hell.
@levicearbhall651 She was incredibly rude, who shuts a door repeatedly on someone who is trying to help you. She was awful.
@@huhuhuh3217If miss rude wouldn't have run out of gas there wouldn't have been any accident! She did it to herself. I can say for myself I've only run out of gas once in 50 years of driving of which I was able to coast into a gas station and refuel!
The people replying to this clearly don't remember being young and anxiety ridden. As a young person with ADHD, I am all over the place. Personally, I do not drive, but I could imagine running out of gas if I had more than 3 things to think about in an hour lmao. And I have pretty good autopilot Midwest Nice but if I didnt I could see myself acting like this. I realize she looks calm but it seems really obvious to me that she's freaking out and very unsure of what to do. Yall are calling her a woman but she looks like a teenager to me.
@@nancyjohnson5810 The other person should have been paying attention. If you are going to be operating a 2 ton machine, you should be watching where you are going and paying attention to everything around you.
Like seriously go fuck off. How soulless of a person do you have to be to blame the victim for some dumbass not watching where they are driving? The amount of bullshit I see like this on the internet is getting absolutely ridiculous. You don’t know her situation at all. She said she was going to walk to the gas station, it most likely isn’t far, so she probably thought she could make it there. She doesn’t have money for a tow, and the fact that she was low enough to run out, she is probably very tight on money.
Are you seriously going to sit there and act like if you hadn’t of made it to a gas station and someone hit you that you would just totally accept that it was absolutely your fault? When are you dinosaurs going to finally grow the fuck up and learn that not everyone lives the exact same life as you?
@@nancyjohnson5810no one cares lol
Hope the officer came out ok. He sounded in pain on impact. His adrenaline might be covering up any neck or back injuries he may have absorbed.
I bet he does have injuries. Getting rear ended at a complete stop by a car going highway speeds . . . YIKES! He is lucky he didn't get knocked out.
Imagine the pain of getting rear ended on a motorcycle. Stop over reacting
Says at the end of the video that he had minor injuries, could have been a lot worse.
@@millitaryofficial913 I don't think anybody is overreacting, Boo.
Nice gatekeeping bro.
The officer is running on an adrenaline rush right now. Two days from now, he's gonna feel the pain of whiplash.
I love how the roles reversed once the paramedics and fire department arrived. The medics both went and tried to open the driver side door of the crumpled vehicle whilst the fireman was giving the officer medical advice 😂
I mean the officer didnt get badly hurt and the person in the car could have a big injure after the crash the ems of course will go try to get that person instead of the officer and the firemen since there wasnt any fire and stuff they just check on the officer
@@blindolakase The officer could very well be badly hurt. He took a high-impact collision without bracing so almost definitely some whiplash and potentially further internal damage.
not uncommon though, firefighters know basic first aid and can assist before paramedics arrive so it was just in his nature to check the officer
This officer seems to be a great officer. As someone who isn’t fond of officers because of the poor encounters, it’s nice to see one that seems emotionally mature and stable. Still puts serving the public first in all encounters.

@@MK-bf9rv The person he was helping out was black so that basically soils your entire argument.

The officer took the time to ask her if she’s okay. Does she take the time to do the same? Or is she too busy on her phone?!! And did the other driver, who was asked if he was okay did he do the same?! No, it took another motorist to take the time to stop and ask the officer if he was okay. Are people really that self absorbed?!?!!!
This is what makes you feel protected when you have this kinda officer. Respect to officer.
be careful because under other circumstances this officer might do something corrupt
That's a quick way of having your insurance go up by a couple hundreds

What a great man, full of empathy and concern for others before himself, he brought a calmness to a very serious situation.
Speedy recovery officer! Whiplash can effect you for a long time, I hope it doesn't take you away from your job too long. We need good officers like you!

The officer was incredible, after the accident and even though he was injured, he remained calm and immediately went back into police mode checking on the other drivers, getting them help; gathering information for the accident report as well as still handling the call he was on before he turned his attention to himself and the injuries he sustained. They ought to use the video of this accident as a training tool for other officers on how to handle yourself when involved in an accident while handling a call! Great job officer!!

True, I also wouldn’t have remained inside my vehicle in a very busy underpass during what appears to be rush hour.
Didn’t even check but I’m assuming she also didn’t have her lights on and or hazards on too. Wouldn’t have mattered as the idiot who hit them didn’t see the COP strobes, but still a basic Darwin self-preservation type move lol.

That officer definitely got a concussion, as someone who has gotten a head injury from an accident. He seems a bit confused but from my experience the symptoms all hit you the next day.
