Police are asking drivers to slow down and to keep an eye out for responders after dashcam footage of a recent crash surfaces showing a state trooper nearly getting hit by a speeding tractor trailer.

A recently released video shows the moment a tow truck crashed into multiple state police vehicles that were at the scene of a previous accident on Interstate 80 in New Jersey last month.

The crash occurred at around 11:16 p.m. on Feb. 23 on eastbound I-80 in Allamuchy, police said. New Jersey State Police were on the scene of a previous accident and used marked police vehicles with emergency lights on to block the left and center lanes, along with road flares.

Dashcam video from a New Jersey State Police vehicle shows a trooper trying to wave down the oncoming Western Star heavy-duty tow truck, which was towing a box truck. The trooper runs out of the way moments before the truck plows through one vehicle and strikes the recording vehicle head-on.

Body-worn camera video from that trooper shows the headlights approaching before he runs away just in time.

After the crash, personnel on the scene can be heard yelling out to one another, then shouting, "Is anyone hurt?"

The tow truck struck three marked NJSP vehicles and an Allamuchy ambulance, police said. An EMT inside the ambulance sustained a minor injury.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation shared a clip of the crash on Twitter, warning motorists to slow down.

"This is a heart-stopping reminder of why motorists need to slow down and move over for first responders," the agency tweeted.

Police said the truck driver was issued a summons for careless driving, and the crash remains under investigation.

The recent winter snowstorms in the United States caused a string of accidents that led to a number of highway patrolmen to getting injured due to reckless driving.
