A dramatic incident was captured on video in Arizona earlier this month, showcasing a heroic act that likely saved a family’s lives. While a couple was crossing the street with a baby stroller, a woman ran a red light, putting them in serious danger. Fortunately, a Chevy Cruze intervened, crashing into the reckless driver and preventing a potentially tragic outcome. The driver of the Jeep responsible for the near-miss was subsequently arrested for driving under the influence.
The Phoenix Police Department released the footage, which was recorded by a traffic camera, on social media to highlight the narrow escape. “A Chevrolet Cruze may have acted as an angel, potentially saving the lives of pedestrians at 53rd Ave & Indian School,” the police stated. “The innocent driver is unharmed, while the red-light violator was arrested for DUI.”
In the video, cars are seen waiting at a red light, allowing the couple to begin crossing the intersection. Suddenly, a Jeep speeds through the light, almost colliding with the family. As the couple hurried to safety, the Chevy Cruze dramatically crashed into the Jeep, blocking it from reaching them. While it’s uncertain whether the Cruze’s driver acted deliberately to intercept the Jeep, it’s clear that without that collision, the outcome could have been dire.
Further details shared by the police revealed that the driver of the Jeep, identified as Marcus Johnson, attempted to flee the scene after the crash. He was apprehended on charges of driving under the influence and aggravated assault; a firearm was also discovered in his vehicle, potentially leading to additional charges.
Thanks to the quick actions of the Chevy Cruze’s driver, what could have been a catastrophic accident resulted in no serious injuries.
