RAW VIDEO: Officer Nearly Crushed Between Vehicles

"It is imperative that drivers understand that during inclement weather, they need to slow down and maintain control of their vehicle," Bloomfield Township Police Chief Geof Gaudard said in the release.
A police officer is recovering after he was nearly crushed between two cars while assisting a driver on a slippery highway. The accident occured on Saturday on I-75 in Bloomfield Township, between Detroit and Pontiac, Michigan. The officer had exited his patrol car, with its emergency lights on, and was assisting a driver who had slid off the north bound lanes of the highway when an 18-year-old driver lost control. The vehicle slid into the officer's car and then the disabled vehicle, nearly sandwiching the officer between the cars. The officer was thrown into a ditch after he was hit, and was sent to an area hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. We will have more details on this story as they become available. What you need to know after a serious Michigan car accident When someone has been seriously injured in a car accident, they are often faced with unexpected medical costs, lost wages and other losses. Injuries can be permanent and medical treatment may be extensive. In the days, weeks, and months following a car crash, injured people and their families often struggle to manage day-to-day life and can be overwhelmed. After a serious or fatal collision, it is important to quickly get the information necessary to make good decisions and begin moving toward recovery. Getting appropriate medical treatment is just one aspect of healing. Getting assistance in handling the insurance claim that will begin financial recovery is another. If the injuries are significant or if you have questions about what you should do, it is best to contact an experienced Michigan car accident attorney for a free, no-obligation consultation. Serious accidents are difficult to handle without the assistance of a lawyer who understands the process, knows how to negotiate with an insurance adjuster, and can obtain the highest possible settlement so that you can recover financially from the car accident.
