According to Fairfax County Police News websiteThe driver of the derailed vehicle, a 17-year-old man, was speeding northbound on the highway before losing control of his vehicle.
“The BMW spun and crossed the interstate, striking another vehicle and then the officer’s vehicle,” the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Department said. “The officer was almost killed.”
He added that the driver of the car that ran the wrong way was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and was discharged from the hospital.
The teenage driver was charged with reckless driving, which can sometimes lead to jail time in the United States.
