Kansas - A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper had a close call after an impaired driver crashed into the back of his patrol car.

Video captured on dashcam showed the deputy performing a traffic stop when he looks up and hurriedly gets out of the way.

The cruiser is seen jolting forward, and then another vehicle slowly rolls into view.

The driver of the vehicle that crashed into the back of the cruiser was later found to be in possession of drugs and under the influence.

"Thankfully, no one was injured, and the impaired driver was taken off the road," KHP said. "Our troopers are out every day keeping Kansas roadways safe. One simple decision to move over could save a life."
