Fortunately, despite the impact, she only sustained minor injuries.

A post about the collision received over 5,400 likes.

It happened on 13 February 13, in Duane, New York state not far from the Canadian border.

In the footage, State Trooper Bailey Martin is seen standing outside her car, chatting with another trooper on the side of the road, with emergency lights flashing on her vehicle.

The pair was investigating an accident leading to property damage.

A grey 2016 Dodge Durango, driven by Colin Wanat, 21, of Eastham, Massachusetts, then struck Martin and collided with her unoccupied patrol vehicle.

Wanat said he failed to observe a stop sign due to dazzling sunlight.

All sustained non-life-threatening injuries and declined medical treatment.

Trooper Martin was transported to Alice Hyde Medical Center for further evaluation. She has since returned to duty.

Viewers were amazed by the horror prang.

David Plagenza said: “Omg, praying for a speedy recovery.”
