Florida Highway Patrol released the dashcam video of a drunk driver colliding head-on with a trooper blocking the Sunshine Skyway for the Skyway 10K race. The incident happened on Sunday.
The driver who was under the influence, Kristen Kay Watts, 52, of Sarasota, crashed through barricades and cones and was driving towards the thousands of runners on the bridge when the female officer heroically put her car straight into the oncoming car's path, saving many lives.
Both Watts and Trooper Toni Schuck, a 26 year veteran of the Patrol, were taken to the hospital and later released.
