Sometimes, car accidents are so bad you can’t help but to rubber neck to see all the damage. Other times, it’s so bad you have to keep going. For this accident, it’s amazing that no one lost their life. Watch the video and you’ll see, how did no on die in this insane car crash?

It’s truly a blessing. However, watching the video I have no idea how everyone came out of this alive and okay. Check out the video below.

(VIDEO) How Did No One Die In This Insane Car Crash?

First, I have to state how important it is to get one lane over when an officer has someone pulled over. There are far too many stories out there about an officer being hit by a car because they didn’t switch lanes or get out of the way. It’s heartbreaking. It happens far too often. Please, get over when you see an officer on the side of the road with someone pulled over.

This story almost ended up like many of those tragic stories. Somehow, it didn’t. In the video, you see an Oklahoma officer has a car pulled over on the side of a busy highway. As the officer is talking to the driver on the passenger side, an SUV comes out of nowhere and slams into the car at full speed. It collides with the pulled over car and it sends the police officer flying to the side. Glass shatters and goes everywhere. The SUV even turns over several times before finally coming to a stop. Amazingly, the officer is shown getting right up. You can watch the video below.

It’s a frightening scene to watch. Especially knowing how so many of these end up going. However, this time, no one was killed. Actually, no one was even seriously hurt in the accident. Police shared the video on social media, hoping to make us all aware and more mindful about distracted driving.

I can’t stress it enough. Please get over when you see a police officer on the side of the road. You do not want this to happen to you.

WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEOThis video is difficult to watch. It is the dash camera from last Thursday, January 18, when Trooper Jesse Gregory #362 was struck by a driver on I-40 at Cimarron Road. He was speaking to the driver of his traffic stop when another vehicle ran into them. We show this video as a graphic reminder of the consequences of distracted or impaired driving and the importance of the slow down, move over law. We are in the middle of a distracted driving emphasis right now in honor of Trooper Nicholas Dees, who lost his life in the line of duty after being struck by a distracted driver.Luckily, Trooper Gregory is expected to be ok. In fact, all three people involved in this incident were treated and released. Our investigators are looking into the cause of this crash and the investigation is ongoing.Trooper Gregory is doing an interview with KWTV - NEWS 9 . It is scheduled to air tonight at 10.

Caution! 5 Things You Should Never Do Drunk

At the time, it may sound like a fun idea. You might even be able to talk yourself into believing it will be a good time and positive things will come out of it. However, I must proceed to warn you to act with caution. These are 5 things you should never do drunk. If you do, you’re very likely going to regret it.

You may have heard of liquid courage. It’s the term we’ve given to that phenomena where you have feelings of self-confidence and self-assuredness after consuming alcohol. For example, when you’re at the bar and you’ve had a couple of drinks and you aren’t scared to talk to that girl you’ve never met who’s sitting next to you. Usually, you wouldn’t speak to her. You’d be too shy or feel awkward. However, with liquid courage, you’re ready to approach.

Understanding Liquid Courage

In reality, the alcohol didn’t actually make you brave. In fact, alcohol causes our brain to release the chemical dopamine, which is a hormone that deals with motivation and rewards. According to The Guest House, the confidence isn’t real, the alcohol has changed our perception. That feeling of confidence and re-assuredness is actually a false sense of those things. That’s where alcohol and its dependency can become a real problem for people. We believe that confidence is real and begin to depend on alcohol to help us in those situations, creating what could be a very slippery slope.

Unfortunately, that false sense of confidence isn’t the only problem with alcohol. Truth is, people do some dumb things when they’re drinking. Sure, there are fun things, as well. However, that’s not what we’re talking about right now. To avoid creating any problems or drama, these are five things you should never do drunk.

Some things on the list are obvious, but still need to be pointed out. Others, you might need a reminder for. Hopefully, you aren’t doing any of these five things that you should never do drunk. You could get arrested, in trouble, dumped, or worse. Stick to having fun and enjoying yourself when you choose to have some drinks. In order to do that, you’re going to want to avoid making these mistakes!

5 Things You Should Never Do Drunk

  • Drive

    First and foremost, this needs to be said. Don’t drink and drive. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. There’s nothing cool about it. Call a Ride Share or find a Designated Driver. Always try to plan ahead and know drinking and driving is not worth it.

  • Text Your Ex

    They don’t call it “liquid courage” for nothing. Don’t reach out to your ex after (or while) you’ve been drinking. Don’t text. Don’t call. Don’t DM. Leave it be. You’ll definitely regret it in the morning. A drunk text at 2am on a Wednesday isn’t going to help you win her back, I promise. It’ll likely end up doing more harm than good.

  • Athletic Activities

    It may sound fun in your mind, but your body isn’t ready for it. One wrong movement and there goes your ankle. Save the heroics for when you’re sober.

  • Make An Impulsive Purchase

    Keep off the internet when you’ve been drinking. Otherwise, a couple days later you’ll receive a package of $100 worth of hot sauce from Amazon. Trust me, I’ve been there. You don’t have room to store all these random bottles of hot sauce. Put it in your cart, sure. However, don’t buy it. Sleep on it.

  • Make Plans

    Don’t make plans when you’re drunk. Sober You likely won’t appreciate the plans Drunk You made the night before. You don’t even like horses, why would you agree to go clean up a stable??

    Cheers

That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
