Another vehicle in the footage can be seen flashing its emergency lights to warn other drivers, while keeping a safe distance from the out-of-control truck.

“Holy crap, he’s going straight for that car,” a woman in the video can be heard saying moments before the truck slammed into the police SUV.

“He just rammed a police officer,” another person can be heard saying.

The suspect was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless operation and driving with a suspended license.

Both the driver and the police officer suffered minor injuries.
