Thanks to a Minnesota trooper’s fast thinking, a teenage driver in an out-of-control Honda Pilot walked away alive and unharmed. After something went wrong with the vehicle, the teen’s mother called police for help, and the trooper was nearby.

In a remarkable move, the trooper instructed the teen to deliberately collide with his cruiser to bring the runaway SUV to a stop. The unconventional plan worked, averting what could have been a tragedy.
