Caught on camera: Trooper in Utah crashes into wrong-way driver on busy highway



It's *** call. No spouse wants to get. I've had him call me before on his way home saying, hey, I'm gonna be late. I'm on *** crash. And so in my head, that's what I heard. And then I was like, wait *** minute, he just said you were in *** crash. And I was like, did you have *** tire blow or? He's like, no, I was in *** head on Nicole mccoy's husband, Utah Highway patrol trooper sergeant Chad mccoy risked his life, Tuesday afternoon to save the lives of other drivers. I just finished my shift in county. So I just crossed over into the county and I didn't hear anything on the radio. At that time, I just noticed any cars moving to the right and then this truck was in the wrong direction and I realized it's actually traveling sergeant mccoy had just seconds to make *** decision. Dash cam video shows the moment he intentionally hit the wrong way driver to get the best I could to try to stop mccoy has received praise from many for his heroic actions, but to him, he's just doing his job. I just view myself as just *** regular, I really think that we all have that mindset. We all come to work every day just trying to keep people safe. In Tuesday's crash, everyone involved was able to return home. But HP Colonel Michael Rapid says that's not always the case. Runway driving often way too often have severe outcomes. And tragic outcomes includes fatalities and life threatening injuries. When crashes involving lone way drivers occur. They're violent, they're tragic and they're horrible. Sergeant mccoy is grateful he was able to come home to his wife of 12 years, Nicole and their four kids just seeing him. I, I was, I wanted to just hug him but I was like, oh, I don't know if he's injured. So it was more, he's, he's standing, he's alive, he's breathing. Let's make sure we can get him to the doctor.
