Dramatic images from the United States show how a truck crashes into several police cars on the highway in New Jersey – and how one of the officers just manages to avoid the collision. The incident occurred on Interstate 80 in late January. Police and personnel from the emergency services were on the scene after an earlier traffic incident – as the driver of the lorry did not catch the blue lights in time. The collision was caught on film by the camera in one of the police cars, showing how one officer narrowly escapes. No one is said to have been injured despite the violent crash. Authorities in the state of New Jersey have now published the images as a reminder of the importance of slowing down during rescue operations and traffic incidents.
