Here's The Terrifying Moment A Police Officer Was Almost Wiped Out By An Out-Of-Control Mercedes
Police have released footage of a Mercedes E-Class driver losing the back end and sliding into the hard shoulder, almost taking out an officer attending an multi-vehicle accident
According to BBC News, police released this footage in an effort to slow down drivers who travel too fast in poor conditions. The accident took place on 30 January on the M57 near Knowsley, when a police officer was attending the scene of a multi-vehicle accident. Fortunately, a Highways Agency Land Rover Discovery bore the brunt of the impact, leaving the officer unharmed.

The officer probably went code brown
Who wouldn’t?
Sounds like traction decided to turn off.
RWD, rain and fast speed….it was doomed to end bad
well more like overreacting caused that. Not saying oversteer does not happen. Actually it happens sometimes even I did not expect it to do. Just keep calm and ease out the throttle slowly while just countersteer a bit and you are fine. The only tricky thing is that you have to overcome what your instinct says.
A Mercedes driver driving too fast for the conditions?
Never….
if he didn’t step on the grass, he would have died…
Lol are our British reflective police vehicles not bright enough.
lol m8 how would’ve that helped to avoid the crash
A few weeks ago a Truckdriver killed two police officers in germany. Here trucks are driving on the hard shoulder constantly.
Lucky day for the officer, I dont know what happened to the car from the otherside but it looks good from my view!!
