Here's The Terrifying Moment A Cop Narrowly Escaped Getting Crushed On The Highway
Officer Hilary Lundberg had an extremely close call on Monday, when a pickup truck smashed into her patrol car on the I-94 in Hudson, Wisconsin.
She’d stopped to help a motorist with a flat tyre, when a pickup truck smashed into the back of her patrol car at speed. She narrowly avoided getting collected by the Ford Taurus, which was shunted all the way over to the other side of the highway.
Speaking about the accident, Hudson Police Chief Marty Jensen said:
“I was just thankful my officer is alive and not injured…She looks up and sees the car coming and she’s got basically no place to go because there’s a gap between the two bridges. So if she were to jump over the ledge, there’s a chance she would fall into the river.”
The 31-year-old pickup driver was treated for “non-life threatening injuries” - one of which we’re hoping is a slap round the chops for not paying enough damn attention while driving.

BRUH!
I don’t remember why I commented this, disregard it lol
Not very Hilary-ous.
No but on a serious note I hope they get better.
I cant belive how crumpled that car is. Imagine an older car….
Newer cars are made to absorb an impact though. That way the passengers won’t have to the impact so hard. An older car would’ve been looking better after the accident, but its passengers would be a mess! Either way, the pickup driver is the idiot who didn’t pay attention!
Hey I live in Wisconsin
Hello from Colorado!
Where in?! Im from hudson! hahaha
This is exactly why you get into the next lane over when you see a patrol car stopped in the road like that. I don’t have a doubt that she had the lights on, too. People seriously need to pay attention!
I just noticed the “Hudson” on the car is in NFS font
I live in hudson! And I drive this road every day twice(I actually drove by the cruiser before it got hit), and to describe how hard it would be to mess up this badly, 94 is a straightaway over the bridge into a slight left, with a HUUUUUGE gap on either side of the road, wide lanes, and nice driver who usually use their signals. This guy was especially lacking in brain cells.
