A Prichard police officer gets out of his car seconds before it is crushed by an 18-wheeler. The officer had just stepped away from his patrol car to work another accident on Interstate 165 when it happened.
A witness at the scene did not hear the truck driver hit his brakes, but watched as the semi plowed into the police cruiser.
The car was crushed and shoved on to the median near the Bay Bridge Road exit. Traffic was blocked for a few hours as the mess was cleaned up.
Everyone involved in the accident is said to be ok.
