CLEVELAND — Dash cam video shows SUV driver being ejected onto the highway after losing control of his vehicle in snowy conditions.
As the SUV veers towards the guardrail, the driver is ejected and lands in front of the trooper’s cruiser. He struggles to his feet and stumbles while the trooper goes to help him.
The driver said he had no memory of the crash or being ejected from the SUV. The last thing he remembers is sliding, then waking up on the ground and getting out of the way, reports Fox 8.
The driver, cited for the crash, is “extremely lucky it was a state trooper there who was paying attention and shielded traffic from hitting him,” said Sgt. Adam Doles with the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol posted the video of the January crash to its Facebook page to remind motorists to slow down and wear seatbelts.
