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.
