KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dash cam video posted Monday by the Johnson County Sheriff shows just how close a deputy came to being struck by a commercial van.
A sheriff’s spokesman said the incident occurred early Friday night, May 17, in the eastbound lanes of W 179th Street just west of U.S. 69 Highway.
Video showed the deputy working a traffic stop when he went to return to his vehicle. As he turned around, a white commercial van heading eastbound narrowly missed the deputy.
The sheriff’s office posted the video as a reminder to slow down and move over for emergency vehicles.
