Trucker’s Dash Cam Captures Speeding Motorist’s Near Miss With State Trooper

A truck driver caught this close call on his dash cam earlier this week when a speeding motorist almost took out a State Trooper’s vehicle on a Connecticut highway.

YouTuber David Casanova posted this dash cam video on April 26, 2016.

In the video, a reckless motorist can be seen zooming in front of the semi truck, barely making it through and nearly slamming into a police cruiser. The incident occurred at night while a police car guarded an active construction zone on the side of the road.

Casanova describes the incident captured by his video:

Reckless driver almost causes an accident in Danbury Connecticut 4/25/2016. This driver somehow manages to squeeze in between a big rig and a State Trooper without hitting either (at least I’m pretty sure). If I were a State trooper here I would have pulled this driver over.

That was a near escape for the negligent motorist and all the surrounding drivers.
