For people who have not seen the show, here is a glimpse.
Bodycam footage emerged showing a car flying though the air after launching off the back of a tow truck. As Fox News reported Wednesday, the incident occurred on May 24 happened while deputies from the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office were responding to the scene of a crash along Highway 84.
The video start with the cops standing on one side of highway adjacent to a vehicle which has flipped over.
Once a deputy walks toward that wreck, another car suddenly appears and is speeding toward a parked tow truck on the other side of the highway.
