If you've ever wondered what your last moments would look like before being fatally struck by a vehicle, well... I think this is as close as you can get. Miraculously for this officer, this wasn't his last moments. On June 5th, 2021, Officer Duc Vo, an officer assigned to the Atlanta Police Department responded to a safety incident, after a car reportedly broke down in the middle of Interstate 20.
Upon arriving in the area, officer Vo approached the disabled vehicle from the rear, parked his cruiser, turned on his overhead lights, and exited the vehicle to go communicate with the driver. Shortly after exiting the cruiser, officer Vo's vehicle was struck by a female drunk driver. With such speed, the car plowed the parked cruiser into the disabled car, while simultaneously striking officer Vo.
EMS and additional units were dispatched to the area. As EMS arrived, they immediately transported officer Vo to an area hospital to be treated for his injuries. In the release of this footage on October 20th, 2021, Atlanta Police Department also mentioned that officer Vo is still recovering from his injuries. Vo was later awarded the purple heart.
Since the incident, the female suspect was charged with a DUI and reckless driving.
