The video at the bottom of this article shows a patrol officer barely escaping getting struck by a car careening out of control.  Let's break it down.

Kids suck at driving

The video opens with a routine traffic stop. According to this article, this officer cop had the gray BMW pulled over for a routine traffic stop.  Suddenly, we see a black BMW hauling butt. The 17-year-old driver apparently loses control, because that bad bay spins around and crosses the median.

Nice reflexes bro!

The cop notices the car immediately and takes evasive manoeuvres.  He ended up in perhaps the only spot where he wouldn't have been crushed by either one of the BMWs.

Back to work

The officer immediately calls for backup and goes to the driver's window to check on them.  The drivers of both vehicles and the passenger in the gray BMW were treated for minor injuries at the hospital and released. So good news, absolutely nobody involved was seriously hurt.
