Virginia policeman saves fellow officer from oncoming car

Dramatic dashcam footage captured the quick reaction of a police officer in Virginia, who pulled a fellow officer out of the path of an out-of-control car and likely saved both of them from serious injuries.

Officer Jessica McGraw was conducting an accident investigation on the southbound side of Highway 23 and was later joined by Officer Matthew Stewart, according to the Gate City Police Department.

Footage shared by the department shows the two officers talking on the side of the road next to a patrol vehicle when suddenly a white car on the northbound side loses control and crosses the median — slamming into the patrol vehicle.

"Officer Stewart caught a glimpse of the vehicle coming towards them and was able to react within a moment’s notice to grab McGraw and pull her out of the path of the spinning patrol car," Gate City Police Chief Justin Miller said in a statement shared Wednesday.
