Heart-racing dashcam video shows trooper miraculously cheat death during brutal traffic stop crash: 'Difficult to watch'

A viral dashcam video shows the moment an Oklahoma trooper narrowly avoided disaster after a car smashed into a vehicle that had been pulled over by the law enforcement officer. Miraculously, there were no severe injuries from the devastating car crash that happened during the traffic stop.

Trooper Jesse Gregory with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol pulled over a white SUV on Jan. 18. Gregory was on the passenger side of the SUV and speaking to the driver.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a black SUV zooming down the highway violently slammed into the car. Debris from the forceful collision flew into the air, and the trooper was launched into the grass from the impact of the car crash. Despite being involved in the brutal collision, Gregory was able to jump to his feet and can be seen in the dashcam video running out of frame.

Gregory told KWTV-DT, "And after watching the video, I don't even remember barrel-rolling to my feet."

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol described the police dashcam footage of the terrifying car crash as "difficult to watch."

The trooper said, "Hopefully this is my scare of the career."

The crash is being investigated, and it has yet to be determined whether the vehicle that plowed into the stationary car had been speeding.

Luckily, all three people in the accident had not only survived the car crash but had already been "treated and released," according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

Trooper Gregory said he is "ready to come back" to work.

He admitted, "And just kind of work through it because I know it's going to take a little bit mentally to come back."

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said in a post on Facebook that it had posted the shocking video to remind the public of "distracted or impaired driving and the importance of the slow down, move over law."

"We are in the middle of a distracted driving emphasis right now in honor of Trooper Nicholas Dees, who lost his life in the line of duty after being struck by a distracted driver," the Oklahoma Highway Patrol stated.

Trooper Nicholas Dees was investigating a tractor-trailer accident around 10 p.m. on Jan, 31, 2015, when he was struck and killed by a distracted driver. The driver was reportedly updating his social media while driving and killed Dees in the line of duty. The driver was charged with manslaughter and sentenced to five years in prison.

Ironically, Gregory was involved in another police traffic stop crash that happened just weeks ago.

On Jan. 5, Canadian County Deputy Jose Mendoza was tossed to the ground after a pickup truck barreled into the vehicle that had been pulled over to the shoulder. Gregory is seen in the police dashcam footage rushing to provide Mendoza with assistance.

Gregory said, "He was struck in the exact same situation. I was less than a mile from him, and I was actually first on scene and called for help."

Mendoza and the others involved in the car accident all survived and suffered varying levels of injuries.

The Canadian County Sheriff's Office said Mendoza is recovering in a long-term rehabilitation facility.
