It was a close call for a Florida Highway Patrol trooper who suddenly found himself in the path of an out-of-control pickup truck along Interstate 95 near Boynton Beach.

Dashcam video tweeted out by the FHP, Thursday night, showed the trooper backing up and running away in the nick of time.

The trooper had stopped to help the driver of an SUV with a flat tire when a chain-reaction crash sent the pickup truck crashing into the disabled SUV.

Authorities said the car that caused the chain reaction accident took off.
